Getting Started Is Easy
Complete the registration form or come into one of our two locations. Tell us about the student, instrument and scheduling needs.
Our lesson team will match the student with an available teacher and confirm the location, weekly time and start date.
Once the schedule is confirmed, payment can be made in-store or online
The student attends at the confirmed weekly time.
Attendance & Cancellations
A weekly lesson time is reserved specifically for each student. Our policies are designed to provide reasonable flexibility while respecting the time our teachers have set aside.
Whenever practical, the lesson may take place online at the regular time. With at least three hours’ notice, one student cancellation per semester may be moved to the end of the current lesson term. If the rollover has already been used, the missed lesson is forfeited.
Lessons missed without notice are forfeited. Repeated no-shows may result in lessons being suspended and the reserved lesson time being released.
During a communicated vacation, injury or family emergency, we may hold the scheduled lesson time for up to three weeks. After three weeks, the regular time may be released and a new time arranged based on availability.
A teacher cancellation is moved to the end of the student’s lesson term.
Online lessons are encouraged whenever attending in person is not practical. When an official travel advisory or road closure affects attendance, the lesson may be moved without using the student’s standard rollover.
Unusual situations may be reviewed by management.

Most students begin lessons at age 6 or older. At this age, children are generally better able to focus, follow instruction and get the most out of a private one-on-one lesson. While readiness can vary depending on the child, instrument and teacher, we recommend waiting until at least age 6 in most cases.
Yes. If a different teacher or teaching style would be a better fit, we'll do our best to arrange a change based on availability.
Monthly lesson payments are processed on the 5th of each month. Each payment covers the next four scheduled weekly lessons shown on the student's attendance card. Monthly lessons follow the same scheduling and attendance policies as our prepaid lesson terms while offering the convenience of automatic monthly payments.
Every student has different scheduling needs. Completing the registration form allows us to match you with the right teacher, lesson time and location before payment is completed. Once your schedule is confirmed, we'll guide you through the appropriate monthly or prepaid payment option.
