CANCELLATIONS It's
important that lessons are regular, so we ask that you maintain a
weekly schedule if at all possible. However, if you must cancel,
please give the instructor at least 48 hours notice, and the instructor
will reschedule your lesson. If you MUST cancel due to illness or
other emergency, we can also reschedule, but we count on our clients
not to abuse this policy. If you are not available for your scheduled
lesson and fail to properly notify the instructor, you will be charged
for that lesson.
OBSERVING LESSONS Parents of young students are always welcome to observe lessons, and see what their children are working on.
