Studio Policy
Practice
Students are expected to practice daily. Twenty minutes each day is recommended. Lesson time is not practice time. Please come prepared.
Attendance
Students are expected to maintain regular attendance and to inform me when schedule conflicts arise.
Schedule Conflicts
If you have a schedule conflict, inform me the week prior. It is often possible to reschedule the drum lesson if sufficient notice is given.
Tardiness
Late arriving students may not receive a full lesson. The lesson will end on time for the next student to begin on time. Whenever possible, I will give a full lesson, even if you arrive late.
Missed Lessons
If you miss your drum lesson, I will try to reschedule the lesson. If we are unable to find an alternative lesson time, you forfeit the lesson fee.
Payment
Methods accepted are cash, check* and PayPal. Rates
Payment is due in advance. Options are as follows.
Weekly – due a week in advance.
Monthly – due before the first lesson of the month.
Quarterly – due before the first lesson of the quarter.
*A fee will be assessed for returned checks.
Hearing Protection
Always use appropriate ear protection. See How To Protect Your Hearing for information. Ask me if you need advice.
