TEACHING POLICIES

LESSON TIMES

Each student is given a 30-minute lesson once per week (Unless otherwise discussed). The scheduled time is the same each week until that student discontinues lessons. The time is selected based on a combination of availability for both the teacher and the student.

REGISTRATION FEE

All students will be required to pay a one-time registration fee. This fee is applied at the time of registration and is non-refundable. In order to maintain a lesson time, the registration fee must be paid at the time of registration.

PAYMENT

To ensure the same time is given each week, students must pay at least one calendar month in advance. This is to reserve a dedicated time for each student.

To secure and reserve a dedicated time slot, the registration fee must be paid in full. Lessons paid ‘per visit’ are considered ‘drop in lessons’ which are not provided a dedicated time slot.

DROP IN LESSONS

Those students who do not schedule weekly lessons are considered ‘Drop In Lessons’ by default. Drop In Lessons are to be paid in full before the lesson is taken.

Please note: Priority is given to those that schedule weekly lessons and Drop In Lesson spots are subject to replacement by a student who has paid one calendar month in advance.

CANCELLATIONS

A minimum notice of 48 hours is required to cancel or change any lesson and not be charged. No exceptions will be made to this policy due to the costs that are incurred by the Academy.

NO SHOWS

If a student does not attend their lesson time and has not given the required notice of 48 hours or more, the student will be charged for the missed lesson. The reality is that by “No Showing” you remove the ability to schedule another student in this time slot. If multiple absences occur, the time slot will be considered “abandoned” and will be made available for another student.

TEACHER ABSENCE

In the case of a teacher absence, a make up lesson will be suggested. Students are encouraged to work with TEMPLE MUSIC ACADEMY staff and get their make up lesson booked promptly. All make up lessons will expire if not scheduled and taken within 60 days.

REFUNDS

No refunds will be made available for lessons already taken. Refunds for upcoming lessons are available as long as it follows the guidelines of the cancellation policy.

LESSON REFUSAL

All teachers have the right to refuse a lesson if they feel uncomfortable, threatened or deem you unfit to teach. No refund or make up lesson will be available for any refused lesson. This decision will be made at the teacher’s discretion and will be fully supported by the academy.

ONLINE LESSONS

Online lessons are treated under the same policies and guidelines as all other lesson formats within TEMPLE MUSIC ACADEMY. Please ask your teacher or the academy if you have any concerns regarding equipment or privacy.

VACATIONS

Students and families wishing to take vacations longer than 3 weeks will not have their spot reserved. In rare cases, students may pay to maintain this spot at current lesson rate. Please be advised this is to hold the spot until they return from vacation and does not apply to future lessons. This is for no longer than 8 weeks at a time and must be approved by administration before hand.

SUBSTITUTES

Students of all teachers are subject to the possibility of a substitute without notice.
