Scheduling

​

• One music lesson per week, 30 minutes in duration.

• One art lesson per week, 60 minutes in duration.

• Students arriving late will receive a lesson shortened by the amount of time they are late.

• "Little Concerts" and other performances are considered lessons. Students unprepared for major concerts may not participate.

• Homework is required in addition to lessons.

• Studio breaks align with the Alexander City School Calendar.

• Studio remains open during school closures due to inclement weather.

• Music students should be dropped off and picked up within 5 minutes of their lesson time.

• Before and aftercare is not provided.

• No food, drinks, or gum is allowed in the studio.

• Parents are welcome to observe lessons but should avoid interrupting the teacher during another student's time.

• Make-up lessons will not be provided for canceled or missed lessons, unless the cancellation is due to teacher absence. Please plan your schedule accordingly. To request a make-up lesson for an upcoming absence, notify me at least one week in advance so I can assist with finding a potential time swap with another student for that week only.
