We've got a lot to talk about

Changing some things up

One of my summer projects was to update our Music SO Simple School Policies. We had created our policies when we had 40 students 7 years ago. Needless to say, we are at a little over 200 students currently and they needed a freshening up!

I have attached a link to our new policy below, but I'm going to bullet point some of the main things to remember and let you know what has changed.

  • A one time registration fee of $50 is charged for all new private lesson students. This includes a new student binder,  bag, and first set of method books. (we started this a while back, but it's official now)
 
  • We have a no make-up lesson policy for parent/student initiated cancellations. Please make sure that the day and time you are setting for lessons at the beginning of the school year is set in your calendar. If a lesson is missed, you always have the option of sending your teacher a video for feedback. Please talk with your teacher about this. (this is new. we need lessons to be a priority and you are paying for a spot in the teacher's schedule. we will also be offering monthly group classes to help get in extra practice)
 
  • Regular attendance is expected and necessary for progress. Teachers reserve the right to withhold students from special events who have missed too many lessons or are not adequately prepared. Additionally, the teacher has a right to drop a student for too many missed lessons. (we started this a while back, but it's official now)
 
  • Commitment to lessons should be very important to parents, students, and teacher. If for any reason you can not fulfill your commitment, you will be financially responsible for the remainder of the semester. (we have no more drop policy because of our mission of commitment to lessons and we have bi-yearly recitals)
 
  • Current students: In order to save your spot for summer lessons, a $50 non-refundable deposit is required by April 1.  The remaining balance will be billed June 1. (we are encouraging more commitment when signing up for summer lessons)
 
  • New students: will be accepted for summer lessons beginning April 15 based on availability. A registration fee of  $50 is charged at time of registration. Summer lesson fees will be billed June 1.
 
  • Current students: In order to reserve your spot for the fall, returning students must pay a $250 fee.  If the student takes at least 6 summer lessons, this fee is waived. (we are bringing back to reserve your spot fee for those who cannot take summer lessons!)
Policies 2022-23
Our policies will need to be signed along with our photo release by August 31. This form will need to be filled out for all students before they can attend their first lesson of the school year! Access it below:
