Scheduling

I have read and agree to the cancellation policy *

Yes

Cancellation policy. If you sign up for lessons, it will be understood that the student is signing up for weekly lessons for the entire semester (starting the first week of classes and continuing through finals week). You are reserving and paying for a time slot. That time, if unused, could have gone to another student, another school, another job, or another activity. I need for that time slot to be paid for the entire lesson term, so I can have some idea as to the amount of income to expect that month/year. Please understand.  Weather: If the school is closed because of weather, lessons will still be offered at the normal time via Skype. If the weather becomes troublesome after school hours, Skype lessons may be offered that evening, but might require flexible timing.  Illness: If your student attends school, please plan to attend the lesson. If the student is sick from school, I will try to offer at least two make-up lesson options that week (note – these may be late at night, on the weekend, in Belleville, and/or via Skype). The more advance notice you give, the more I am likely to offer convenient make-up lessons. If neither of the make-up options work, please pay for the lesson time. oIf the student’s transportation is sick, please find an alternative ride. o(((If you show up for work and your boss is sick, do you still get paid?)))  Band/School trips/events: I will continue to be as flexible as possible with these. Please check your calendars regularly and be on top of trading lesson times. I teach at seven different locations over five days and cannot take too much time calling the list and playing middle-man for swaps. If you tried to complete a swap multiple days in advance without success, I will offer a few make-up times via Skype or in Belleville. If you are waiting until the day of the conflict, please pay for the lessons regardless of attendance. oI cannot keep up with each school’s calendar and certainly not each student’s schedule. Please do NOT assume that I know of a band conflict. I do not have Charms access or access to any direct ensemble schedules. YOU are responsible for notifying me in advance for rescheduling consideration.  Lesson Agreement Termination: Students who wish to cancel their lessons agreement will pay for a FULL MONTH of lessons past their last given lesson. oThis is not unlike cancelling your cellphone or cable early. oIf you wish to think of lessons as a way of getting though school band requirements or audition preparation, we can think of it as a per-service agreement – like an electrician or plumber – and I will be happy to charge the same hourly rate as my electrician charges ($115/hr). oIf you are a senior, you are still responsible for the lesson time through the end of the school semester.
