§1. CANCELLATIONS: Please think and plan ahead, and remember your lesson time. If you need to cancel a lesson, make every effort to give teacher as much notice as possible, at least 24 hours. Makeup lessons are not given without 24 hour notice.
§2. DISMISSALS: If a change needs to be made, teacher would like the opportunity to say goodbye on a pleasant note, wish the student well, and tell them how happy I was to have the opportunity to work with them.
§3. ILLNESS: Teacher recognizes that—especially with small children—it is not always possible to know in advance if your child is going to be feeling ill. Please do not bring children to lessons if they are running a fever or ill.
§4. FEES: Lesson fees are due on or by the tenth of every month, with a $25.00 late fee. If new students start during the month, fees may be prorated for that month.
§5. LESSON TIME: Please be on time, neither early nor late. Parents must accompany all students under age 12, and please pick up older ones on time.

§6. MAKEUPS: With a waiting list and fully booked schedule, make-up lessons are not always possible. You are paying for the teacher's time, not the lesson, per se. 24 hour notice is required to schedule a makeup. Long term students, frequently professional people, do have the option of a second, optional lesson time.
§7. PARKING: Please park on the street and not in anyone's driveway.
§8. RECITALS: Recitals will occur regularly, usually three a year. Format is formal, and free to the public.
§9. RETAINERS: The flat monthly fee covers four lessons, and occasionally five, per month—except for November and December, when it covers three lessons. Regardless of the number of lessons you receive in a month, the fee remains the same. No monthly refund will be given, once lessons are started.
