Policies

WEATHER:
We do not follow St. Mary's County schools for closings!  Please check here on the website and on Facebook for Studio closings.  Every attempt will be made to make up missed classes due to weather.


GROUP CLASS POLICIES
Please try to be on time. Dress for moving and dancing!
 
Food, toys or other distractions, such as the TV being on, often cause problems, whether in person or online. 

OBSERVATIONS:
Understand that all children learn at different rates and in different ways.  Some children will be quiet in class, others will be active.  Some children will do everything perfectly at home, but not in class.  As a parent, you know that every child is unique, so check your comparisons at the door and let the music work it's magic!

REFUNDS: 
For group classes, a student who withdraws at least 14 days before the first class of the semester will receive a full tuition refund. Materials are yours to keep and will not be refunded. There are no refunds after 14 days before the first day of class. Return check charge $20.00.


INDIVIDUAL LESSON POLICIES

Following a lesson, parents will receive an email with the student's assignment for the week. Parents are expected to share the assignment with the student.  Students are expected to practice daily throughout the week.


You will receive a monthly invoice the last week of the month for the following month.  Payments are due by the 5th of the month.


Individual lessons that are missed will be charged for the lesson unless notification is provided at least 24 hours before lesson time.   With less than 24 hours notice, makeup lessons are not scheduled.   Students who miss a lesson will be invited to send a video of their songs and the teacher will send video feedback before the end of the week.
