It is important that students are consistent and timely with their attendance to get the most out of their music education. If it is necessary that a student miss a lesson due to illness or some other factor, please be courteous and provide 24-hours notice whenever possible so that instructors can adjust their schedule if necessary.
- Students are expected to attend their scheduled lesson on the same day and time each week, unless otherwise arranged in advance with their instructor or management.
- Make-Up lessons are already built into our program! Unlike other studios, we do not charge additional tuition when a fifth lesson falls within the month, which occurs several times each year. These additional free lessons account for absences due to cancellations by the student and holidays that may fall on their lesson day. Therefore, no additional make-up lessons will be scheduled.
- If you need to change your lesson day and time temporarily or permanently, student must provide a full week’s notice of the request in order to prevent missing a lesson before the change can be arranged.
- Instructors reserve the right to deny instruction for a class if a student’s illness or behavior interferes with instruction.
- Lessons missed due to non-payment will not be made-up or rescheduled.
- If an instructor is unable to provide a scheduled lesson, a substitute will be provided. In the event that a substitute cannot be provided, the student may choose from their regular instructor’s available time slots for a make-up lesson at a later date. If an instructor is running behind schedule, the instructor will either provide the student with the full lesson time by running over their scheduled time slot, or may choose to schedule make-up time if necessary.
- Vacations that result in students missing three or more lessons may be credited only if written notice is provided more than two weeks in advance. However, the time slot cannot be held and the student will need to choose from the available times upon return. Student will be responsible for tuition starting from the return date listed on the vacation form.
North Florida Music Academy is not responsible for providing before or after lesson care for students. Parents with students under the age of eight are asked to remain in the music school during the lesson. Students are not to be left at the music studio for more than five (5) minutes before or after lessons.
Students are enrolled on a continual monthly basis for a total of three, six, or nine months according to their contract of choice. To discontinue lessons, request a withdrawal form from your instructor or management. It must be submitted by the first (1st) day of the last month and only at the last month of their contract term or after. Student will be responsible for the remainder of their contract term and the last month of tuition before being removed from our easy pay system.
Students are responsible for the purchase of their own books, instruments, and other materials needed for the lessons they are receiving. Instructors will assist in referring our students to where they can obtain these items, however they are not responsible for providing them personally.
We truly appreciate your kind words about North Florida Music Academy, and we want to reward you for sending new students our way. For each family you refer that registers and references your name on our enrollment form, you’ll receive $10 off your next month’s tuition! (Note that only one referral reward can be redeemed each month.)
