Private Lessons Terms of Service

Fees:

  • Payments can be made ahead or at the time of the lesson.

  • $20 per half-hour lesson if paying with cash or check (made out to the lesson teacher)

  • $21 if paying via the website.

  • Acceptable forms of payment include cash, check (made out to the lesson teacher), or stripe (online).

Cancellation Policy:

  1. Cancellations can be made by the student or parent at any time. However, more than 24 hours' notice is required to cancel a lesson. Cancellations must be done manually by the student or guardian via the scheduling link in the confirmation email you received when you booked the lesson. This is also necessary to receive a credit for a make-up lesson. Make-up lessons will be scheduled on a case-by- case basis and through the scheduling link.

  2. If the student cancels a lesson with less than 24-hour notice, or simply does not show up to a scheduled lesson, the student will be billed the full amount of the missed lesson. This will be billed to the card provided when booking the lesson.

  3. In any event that a lesson must be cancelled by the teacher, a make-up lesson will be offered at a mutually agreed upon time. Make-up lessons will not be offered for a lesson that is missed by the student. If the teacher must cancel the lesson with less than 24-hour notice, a make-up lesson will be offered free of charge.

Practice:

  • The student is expected to practice regularly. It is expected that the student will journal his/her daily practice. This journal is designed to organize the student's work, track learning curves, and improve efficiency. Each entry should include the date, minutes spent, instrument practiced, tempo ranges, and any other details pertinent to that practice session. The student must dedicate a notebook to this exclusive use.

Other:

  • Lessons are restricted to only students within the Walled Lake Consolidated School District.

  • All non-wind players are eligible for lessons. If you are a wind player, you must get approval from your Director of Bands prior to taking percussion lessons.

  • By clicking the “I have read and agree to the terms above” button on the scheduling page, both the student and parent acknowledge that they have read, understood, and agree to the terms of service outlined in this contract.
