The monthly pay option includes a fifth week and/or excludes holidays where applicable. All lessons are prepaid at least 24hrs in advance unless our teachers can fit a student in same day. Payments are to be made directly to Kalena Instruments. No checks accepted. All Major Credit cards accepted and tap payments including Apple Pay, Google Pay, etc. Classes paid monthly are discounted tickets and are non-refundable. One non-refundable discounted monthly payment of $85 (plus tax) makes bookkeeping easier, saves our students money and keeps our teachers paid for their time. Some months have five weekly classes and some have four. Some months with holidays may only have 3 classes. The fee will not change based on the number of classes you attend.  Groups take a commitment and this reinforces the commitment. Same as normal school classes, missed classes with other students can not be made-up. Please understand that the teacher will be paid for the lesson whether a student shows up or not. The lesson fee is paid monthly and will not be adjusted for missed classes.

 

2. Practice Expectations

Students should practice 30 minutes/day, 4-5 days/week.

3. Attendance and Tardy Policy:

Students are expected to arrive on time and have their instrument tuned before the lesson begins. Your lesson time will not be extended because you are late or unprepared, and you will still be charged the same. Frequently missing lessons will not be tolerated. Consecutive absences are grounds for termination of lessons and you are still required to pay for the month.

4. Student Responsibilities Materials:

Students are responsible for the purchase of their own books, instruments, and other materials needed for lessons. Preparedness: Students are expected to prepare their lesson material to the best of their ability. This is homework! Being unprepared for a lesson is a waste of time and money. Bring all lesson materials to lessons. Forgetting song sheets will prevent the teacher from giving a productive lesson.
