Policies, Guidelines, & Details

Payment Schedule for Private Instruction

Lessons are charged by four weeks of lessons. Payments should be made the first week of each four lessons.

No-shows and cancellations will still be charged unless I receive at least 24 hours notice. I do not do make-up

lessons for no-shows. Cancelled lessons may be made up if there are times available. Lessons that can not be

made-up will not be eligible for a refund. Exceptions may be made for emergencies or special circumstances.

Lesson Cancellations

Please call and let me know if you must cancel a lesson for ANY reason. If I have to cancel a lesson for sickness

or emergency, we will try to do a make-up lesson. If that is not possible, I will refund you for that lesson. If you

need to miss a lesson and do not call me within 24 hours of the lesson, there will be no make-up lesson and no

refund given. If you cancel within 24 hours of the lesson, we will find a time to do a make-up lesson. If we can

not find a time to make up the lesson in the same week, we can either do a double lesson the following week OR

make-up the lesson at another time. If you do not show up for lessons, there will not be a refund. Please

remember that too many lesson cancellations may result in poor progress. Improvement greatly depends on

consistent instruction and practice.

Practice Expectations

Students are required to practice at home between lessons. Daily practice is vital to musical progress. The

recommended amount of practice time will be discussed with the student depending on their age and skill level.

For tips on how to encourage practice, check out the Practice Guide. For tips on effective ways to practice,

visit the How To Practice page. (Coming Soon)

Parental Involvement at Lessons

Parents may stay to observe piano lessons or leave if they prefer. Siblings are welcome as long as they aren't

disruptive to the piano lesson. Parents can also take siblings outside in the backyard to play (weather permitting) if they wish.

Siblings and friends must be accompanied by an adult during piano lessons and are responsible for their

behavior.

Music Lesson Time-Slot

I reserve a specific time-slot for each student. If I am running late with prior students, I will always extend the

following lessons to their full length. If a student comes in late, I will extend the lesson up to 5 minutes after if

there are no lessons afterwards. If there are lessons after, and the late student is more than 5 minutes late, I

may not be able to extend the lesson. If you arrive more than 5 minutes early and I am teaching a lesson,

please try to wait outside or let your children play in my backyard until lesson time. Some students are easily

distracted or are very shy about playing in front of other people. I want to make sure each student gets their

full lesson without interruption.

Questions or Problems Concerning Piano Instruction

Please let me know if you or your child has any problems or questions about your child’s private lessons. You

can call anytime and I will be happy to help you. As a parent and a piano instructor, I realize it can be

frustrating for parents who have never played an instrument to answer their child’s music questions at home.

If any problems should arise, I am willing to modify lesson plans and practice schedules, etc. based on each

family’s needs. By sharing your concerns, I will be better equipped to make lessons a positive experience for

both you and your child.

Birthday Gift

Each student having previously paid for four (4), weeks of either voice or piano instruction will receive ½ hour

of FREE instruction as a birthday gift from Ravnsong Music. Ravnsong Music will present this in the form of a

gift certificate. This is not transferable and must be redeemed within one year of the date on the gift certificate.

The gift certificate may either be applied to a scheduled date of instruction or used to schedule and pay for

future instruction.

Insurance Disclaimer

Our studio, equipment and each student is covered under insurance while in our care. Therefore, no lessons or

instructions will be offered or conducted outside of our control, insurance coverage or anyplace other than our

studio. There are no exceptions.
