Membership Terms of service
TUITION & MAKING PAYMENTS
The House Membership program is designed as a session agreement. Payments are considered session tuition installments and are not based on the number of lessons in a month.
Payment will be requested through your preferred platform (PayPal or Venmo), and is due on the first of each month. You may also choose to pay for the session in full, due prior to your first lesson.
Reminder notices will be issued in the event that payment is late. Failure to pay by the 5th of the month will result in a $20.00 late fee. Delayed payments may result in the student's lessons being put on hold.
CANCELLATIONS & MAKE-UPS
MEMBERS ARE OFFERED 2 MAKE-UPS PER SESSION, regardless of the reason for the missed lesson. Prior notice is appreciated, but not required for the lesson to qualify for a make-up. Refunds will not be issued for any reason— this includes but is not limited to sickness, schedule error, traffic, and negligence. In the event that the instructor cancels a lesson, you will be contacted to schedule a make-up. (This would not count toward your allotted 2 per session.)
All make-up lessons are to be scheduled at your convenience on the Book a Lesson page of the website.
If you feel sick, do not plan to come to your lesson in person. Zoom is always a safe option and the choice to come to an in-person lesson or to meet online is yours each week. Be thoughtful; be cautious!
TERMINATING LESSON CONTRACT
House Membership enrollment is designed as a session agreement. Should the client decide to terminate the agreement before the conclusion of the contracted session, The Lesson House requires that half the outstanding tuition balance be paid in full.
EXPECTATIONS & PRACTICE
Students are expected to arrive in a timely manner and with all their required materials: binder/folder, practice logs, lyric sheets, method books and sheet music, pencil and water. Students should come prepared to show their progress and understanding of the week’s material. Developing healthy practice habits is crucial in musical growth. Parents, your encouragement in this is vital!
The Lesson House expects its students to put forth the effort and commitment necessary to show consistent growth and artistic development.
