Piano Lessons In Palm Coast,  88 Strings in Palm Coast Studio Policies

      Studio Policies                                                     Piano Lessons in Palm Coast,  88 Strings in Palm Coast

These policies are in effect to ensure that the majority of time is spent teaching the students. For this reason, these policies are followed with no exceptions. Piano lessons are the main objective and every minute is vital.

• · Tuition- The tuition is due at the first lesson each month. 

  •   There is a $5 late fee added to the lesson fee if not paid at the first lesson of the month

  • There will be no second lesson until the tuition and late fee are paid.

  • There is a $25 fee for NSF checks. Once this happens the tuition must be paid in cash.

• Makeup lessons 

  • Makeup lessons are available only for lesson that I cancel. If a student cannot make his or her lesson, the student forfeits that lesson. I will spend that specific time planning the student’s future lessons. Remember, your tuition pays for more than your weekly lesson. There is prep, training, education, recital costs, etc. Lessons can be rescheduled if there is an open slot available but only with 24 hours notice. 

• Canceling

  • If you need to cancel a lesson, remember an online lesson is always an alternative in place of a in-studio lesson. My computer, microphone and speakers are always setup so I am available for online lessons.  The parent or student needs to call with an advanced notice and inform the studio of the app choice (Zoom, Skype or Facetime) and the contact information for that site. 

• Studio Sessions

  • The studio school year program runs from September through May (*** see notes below).  There are 4 lessons each month. If the studio is closed, makeup lessons are given to guarantee that there will be four weeks (When there are five weeks in a month, the studio is closed for one of the weeks during that month). These makeup lessons are on a Friday and Saturday specified by the studio. 

  • The summer program runs from June through August (eight specific weeks chosen by the studio).  No lesson time is carried forward to the next session. A Sign Up Genius email is sent in July to sign up for the fall and another Sign Up Genius email is sent in April to sign up for the summer session.
