Each semester consists of 16 weeks of lessons. Lessons should be scheduled at a time that is mutually agreeable to both the student and the instructor, and should be consistent each week, regardless of other activities. Students may cancel and make up a maximum of two (2) lessons per semester. Cancellations must be made at least 24 hours in advance. Any lesson not canceled at least 24 hours prior, or any cancellations exceeding two (2) in a semester, will be forfeited. Please be sure to cancel lessons for reasons such as student illness, field trips, doctor’s appointments, games, or any other commitments. Additionally, no lesson will be conducted if the student forgets their instrument or books, fails to arrive for the lesson, or chooses not to attend for any last-minute reasons.
