Lessons can not be extended if you are late.
Come prepared and bring books - if you want to see results.
We generally follow Sevier County school system for holiday closings with many exceptions.
Snow/ rain days/unexpected - We will do online class on that day. If you cannot participate - group make up class will be organized later on.
2. Missed lessons - If student misses a class without notification it will not be made up or refunded.
We keep the same schedule year round, the time slot is reserved for you. Please, do not change it.
Students are expected to attend every scheduled lesson prepared in order to make progress.
One absence per semester can be made up. (Trips, appointments or no reason but we need to know more than 24h before.)
Make up class will be on Saturday unless we have a cancellation within the week.
If the teacher has to miss the class in case of emergency or sickness - we will make it up as soon as possible or the classes will be with a substitute teacher.
Studio reserves a right to terminate classes due to disciplinary problems, lack of practice, late payments or lack of payment.
Parents! Your involvement in home practice is crucial for student success.
Please help your child to establish and stick to a practice routine, and see that practice time is free of distractions (tv off and phone away).
Ex: Before or after dinner. play every day! 30 min minimum.
If you are the parent of an elementary age student, please plan to sit with your child for at least a portion of their daily practice time.
Especially in the first few months. Encouragement is the best help!
