Policies and Guidelines

Please pay your tuition, on time, by the 1st of the month. Tuition received after the 1st will be charged a $25 late fee. Your tuition includes 30 private lessons and 18 group lessons occurring between Sept 1 --- May 30 and is divided into 9 equal monthly payments.

Please attend all lessons and group lessons; If there is a lesson scheduled before yours, please feel free to come a few minutes early to observe, get settled, and use the restroom. Students who are late will not be guaranteed a full lesson.

Please keep the studio a “cellphone free zone” during the lesson unless being asked to record.

There are no make-up lessons. Please do not ask for a make-up. If you must miss a lesson, you may trade lessons with another student using the schedule and phone list on the board in the waiting room. Please inform of any changes.

Let your teacher know as soon as possible if you must miss a lesson, out of courtesy.

Put LISTENING and REVIEW on the top of your priority list. This will help everything.

Read the white board every week in case there are announcements and/or reminders.

Parents are required to learn with children under age 13.

Students will be asked how they practiced each week
Please do not bring a sick child to a lesson or arrive ill yourself. If your child is too sick for school, they are too sick to have a lesson. Your teacher will send sick students and parents home immediately.

E-mail or voicemail are the best ways to contact your teacher. For sensitive issues that require a phone call, please contact your teacher in the mornings before 12:00 p.m.

If there’s something going on that your teacher needs to know about, let them know (the sooner the better as they will do the same for you.)

Please consider e-mailing your teacher to set up a conference about sensitive issues to see what can be improved rather than discuss them infront of your child and waste valuable lesson time.

Work hard. Your teacher's assignments are NOT mere suggestions; they need to be carried out fully in order for your teacher to help the child to be the best they can be.

Read all of the materials your teacher gives you. Materials are prepared with great care and your teacher needs you to stay informed.

Mark your calendar accurately to include all of our events and dates when there are no lessons. Mark recital dates in big red letters. Stay aware of updates.

Bring all of your materials and prepare for lesson (i.e. notebook, technology to record practice videos, instruments, and books).

Please prioritize the violin lessons. Tuition pays for your reserved time in the studio schedule throughout the year. There are NO REFUNDS.

Lessons that is canceled by the teacher will be rescheduled.
