\"IMG_5303\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In an effort to make sure that there is a common understanding of what is expected, I have highlighted each POLICY<\/strong>\u00a0guideline for ease of review.\u00a0 If you have any concerns then please address them prior to or at the first lesson\u00a0so as to maintain clarity about the guidelines.\u00a0 By attending lessons, you therefore agree to the terms and conditions of my guidelines as stated below.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

CANCELLATIONS\u00a0require a minimum of 24 hours advanced notice\u00a0for consideration\u00a0as an excused absence and make-up lesson.<\/strong>\u00a0 Otherwise, the lesson is considered forfeited and\u00a0a make-up lesson is at the discretion of the instructor.\u00a0 Cancellations more than 24 hours advanced notice may be made via email, phone\/voicemail or in person.\u00a0\u00a0Cancellations less than 24 hours advanced notice must be made\u00a0by phone<\/strong>, or, in the event that I cannot be reached in person, a voice mail must be left.\u00a0 All attempts must be made to contact me in person for cancellations under 24 hours.\u00a0 Excused absences less than 24 hours notice are as follows: acts of God, vehicle troubles\/accidents, and illness.\u00a0\u00a0Calls should<\/strong>\u00a0be made at first indications of conflicts<\/strong>.\u00a0 Cancellations from the instructor will be made-up and scheduled at the earliest mutual availability.<\/p>\n

SCHEDULE AND CONTACT INFORMATION:\u00a0 Every effort will be made to provide a regular weekly scheduled<\/strong>\u00a0lesson<\/strong>.\u00a0 Attempts will be made to provide schedule changes approximately one week to one month in advance in order to schedule any make up lessons due to conflicts on the instructors behalf.\u00a0 The student will also make every attempt to keep the regular weekly lesson time.<\/p>\n

COMMUNICATIONS:<\/strong>\u00a0 Provide home and cell contact numbers as well as email addresses.\u00a0\u00a0Emails will be the main form of communication as well as text messages.\u00a0 Please respond to all emails in a timely manner within a 48 hours of delivery, and texts at your earliest convenience.<\/strong>\u00a0 Should\u00a0any contact information change at any point, please provide updated information immediately as to allow ease of necessary communications.\u00a0 Lessons missed due to lack of proper contact information are at the discretion of the instructor.\u00a0\u00a0Please only use emails for general information and scheduling matters only.\u00a0 If issues arise then a phone call is best to keep things clear.<\/strong><\/p>\n

TARDINESS:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0If the student is running late then a phone call or text is due to inform the instructor of such lateness.<\/strong>\u00a0 The instructor is not obligated to make up any time due to tardiness.\u00a0 If more than 15 minutes of\u00a0a lesson time is missed and no call has been placed then the lesson is considered forfeited.<\/p>\n

RATE:\u00a0 The current rate for an hour lesson is $60<\/strong>.\u00a0 Lessons\u00a0may be\u00a0pro-rated for 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 minutes. \u00a0Payments are to be made in cash.<\/p>\n

PAYMENT:\u00a0 At the last lesson of the month all payments are due for the following months scheduled lessons as well as outstanding payments for supplies purchased in the previous month<\/strong>.\u00a0 At this time,\u00a0cash<\/strong>\u00a0is the only acceptable form of payment.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

STUDENT GUIDELINES:<\/strong>\u00a0 As a student of an instructor you not only represent yourself\u00a0and the instructor, you also represent other students in the studio and\u00a0any schools or organizations that\u00a0you\u00a0attended.\u00a0 Here are some guidelines to help you be respectful to everyone:<\/p>\n
