TK Music Lessons Studio Policies

Adult’s Division (ages 18+)

Punctuality

Lessons are 30, 40, 45, 50 and 60 minutes long, which can be arranged with the teacher either in-person or online, according to the student’s preference. A student who signs up for in-person classes has the flexibility to switch to online instruction or vise versa at any time. For in-person classes, the student should arrive at most 5 minutes before the beginning of the lesson. Private theory learning are part of the lesson.

Scheduling

TK Music Lessons Studio is offering two semesters each year. The Fall Semester runs from Labor Day until January 15; the Spring Semester lasts from January 16 until Memorial Day.

Students are not required to purchase a semester tuition package, but are highly encouraged. A Full Semester tuition package includes 18 lessons at a 5% discount.

If the student decides to purchase the Full Semester tuition package, payment in full is due on the first lesson of each semester.

A late fee of $25 per student will be charged if tuition payment is not made on time.

If the student takes more than 18 lessons per semester, payment for the extra lessons taken will be due at the end of the semester.

Each student will receive a semester calendar to be able to follow the number of lessons taken during each semester. 

An application deposit of $30 per student will be charged at the end of each school year in order for the student to reserve a spot in the studio for the following school year. The deposit is due on May 31st. The whole deposit amount will be returned as a deduction from the semester tuition ONLY if students purchase Full Semester or Half Semester tuition packages. Deposits will not be returned to students who do not purchase tuition packages. 

A new student has the right to 3 try-out lessons before purchasing a Full Semester tuition package (the remaining 15).

The payment for the 3 try-out lessons is in full (without the 5% discount). However, if the student decides to purchase the next 15 lessons, the amount of the discount for the first 3 lessons will be given back as a deduction from the remaining amount for a Full Semester package.

Cancelations

If a student needs to cancel a lesson, the student must inform the teacher at least 24 hours in advance for re-scheduling to be possible. The lesson can be re-scheduled for any time that is convenient for both parties. If a student cancels a lesson less than 24 hours in advance, TK Music Lessons will NOT offer a make-up lesson and will NOT issue a refund. If a teacher cancels a lesson less than 24 hours in advance, a make-up lesson or refund will be offered. 

If a student with a Full Semester tuition package withdraws before the fourth lesson, the studio will refund the remainder of the student’s tuition from their tuition package. An additional cancellation fee of $25 will also be subtracted from the refund.

The studio will refund only half of the tuition for the remaining lessons if the student withdraws after the 4th lesson and before the 7th lesson. An additional cancellation fee of $25 will also be subtracted from the refund.

Refunds will NOT be given after the 7th lesson except in cases of prolonged illness or injury.

The studio only allows 3 excused absences per semester, all of which will need to be made up. An absence is defined as excused only if the studio or teacher has been notified of the absence at least 24 hours before the time of the lesson.

No excused absences are allowed for make-up lessons!

In case of vacations during the semester, please talk to your teacher in advance to arrange make-up lessons. These make-up lessons can be scheduled to take place either before and/or after your absence.

If a student chooses to take in-person classes but cannot come to the studio because of travel or illness, we offer the option to take some or all of the make-up classes online.
