Do I have to sign up for recurring lessons?
For new students under the age of 18 yes you must sign up for recurring weekly lessons. Consistent lessons, ensures a solid foundation for developing skill and growth. Adult students have the options to enroll in recurring lessons or to book à la carte lessons. À la carte lessons cannot be booked more than two weeks in advance. Choosing the more flexible schedule options does not guarantee the teacher and schedule you prefer.
What happens if I need to change my schedule due to my child’s other activities?
Our office staff is very accommodating in assisting with schedule changes. We offer a 30 day hold to assist with additional activities and temporary schedule shifts. We can also explore other days and times depending on your schedule and our availability.
Where should I find instruments and gear?
We do not directly rent instruments.
However, we do carry musical development books, capos, strings, picks, tuners and more at our studio!
Are there performance opportunities for my child?
Yes! We offer two recitals a year (no additional fees) and group classes (additional fee) throughout the year!
Are there breaks and closure dates?
Yes, we operate on a 45-week calendar year to accommodate holidays and give our students breaks!
How do you schedule makeup lessons?
You may self-book makeup lessons via OPUS or you may contact the office to schedule your makeup lessons. Please refer to our how-to document on a step-by-step process of scheduling your makeup lessons.
Does my makeup lesson have to be with my normal teacher?
Your makeup lesson does not need to be scheduled with your normal teacher. All lessons, including lessons with subs, remain consistent. Your teacher includes notes in your students’ notebooks to ensure they stay on track, even when having a substitute.
What happens if my teacher is out?
You will be notified by the Office a week prior via OPUS that your teacher will be out and the information regarding who will be your substitute. If you do not wish to have a substitute, you may contact the office to cancel your lesson. You may wait until your teacher has additional openings to reschedule the makeup with your student’s teacher if preferred.
Can we use a make-up lesson credit for a different instrument or another family member, and how do we switch it?
Yes! Make-up credits are interchangeable between family members and may be used for a different instrument. To make this change, please contact the office directly, as clients are not able to adjust services on their own. We’re happy to accommodate families so you can fully use the lesson time you’ve paid for.
What if we miss a lesson?
We have a 24-hours notice cancellation policy. Any lessons canceled 24 hours prior receive a makeup lesson. Any lessons canceled within 24 hours are lost. We offer a once a year sick cancellation for emergencies.
Where are you located?
