Rules and Protocols
Cancellations: 24 hours notice of cancellation is required, otherwise the student is billed for the missed lesson. With sufficient notice, the lesson will be rescheduled.
In the event of sudden illness, misfortune, or inclement weather, exceptions can be made at the teacher’s discretion, and the lesson rescheduled.
Lesson Times: Lessons begin at the appointed hour. Extra time is not added on if students are late.
Illness: Occasionally there is an in-person rehearsal, when the accompanist is required. In order to protect the health of other students, as well as the teacher and the pianist, students must cancel their lesson if they are ill. Students who show up sick for a rehearsal will be sent home and the lesson forfeited.
Perfumes/Smoke: At any in-person rehearsal, students may NOT wear perfume, cologne, hand/body lotion, hair gel/spray, or any other scented products. Students who show up wearing scented products or smoky clothing will be sent home and the lesson/rehearsal forfeited. Unfortunately, even laundry detergent/fabric softener and shampoo/conditioner are highly scented. Students are encouraged to use unscented products.
