Studio Policy
These policies exist to protect your commitment, and to ensure my time and energy are respected. Thank you for respecting the structure that make lessons fair, stable, and possible.
Lesson Commitment & Attendance
Lessons are weekly and recurring at the same scheduled time. Lessons are expected to occur weekly (typically 4 per month). Tuition is a flat monthly fee that reserves your exclusive weekly time slot.
Punctuality is required, and students arriving late will not receive extended time.
24-hour notice is required for cancellations to qualify for a make-up.
No-shows and late cancellations (less than 24 hours) are charged in full, except in cases of verifiable emergency.
Tuition is paid monthly, in full, before or at the first scheduled lesson of the month
Accepted payment methods: Venmo, Zelle, or cash.
A $15 late fee is applied each day payment is late. If tuition is unpaid by the 10th day, your lesson slot will be forfeited.
Make-ups are not guaranteed and are subject to my availability.
≥24-hour notice: One make-up lesson is offered, and scheduled within the same month.
<24-hour notice or no-show: No make-up is offered or any refunds.
Excessive rescheduling (3+ within a month) may result in loss of lesson time slot.
If I must cancel due to illness or emergency, I will offer a make-up or payment credit.
Lessons falling on major U.S. holidays (e.g., Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, etc.) will be rescheduled within the same month at no extra charge.
If you'd like to hold your weekly time slot after break, full tuition will still be required. If you choose to skip payment for the month, your slot may be reassigned to another student.
