GENERAL
Musical instrument lessons at JW Music are private lessons that are held once per week for half an hour. Lesson scheduling is done by the store.

SIGN-UP
Lesson sign-up can be done in the store or over the phone. Initial payments for lessons will occur during sign-up.

PAYMENT
Lessons are a flat rate of $88.00 to $100.00 per month, with payment due by the first lesson of the month. The tuition is for four lessons; one half an hour lesson per week, scheduled at the same time per week. Some months may have fewer than four lessons due to holidays. Those months would have a smaller payment, pro-rated for the number of lessons in that month ($66.00 to $75.00 for 3 lessons, $44.00 to $50.00 for 2 lessons, etc.).

Teachers will communicate to students the number of lessons available for a particular month. Otherwise, please call the store if you are unsure about the number of lessons for a particular month or the amount owed. Payment is due by the first available lesson of the month. If no payment is made by the second available lesson of the month,a $10.00 late fee will be added to the regular payment. If you can’t make it into the store to make a payment, you can give a check to the teacher, mail a check to JW Music, or call in a credit card. For those of you who would pay via mail or give payment to the teacher, it is advisable to call the store periodically to double-check the amount of payment. There are no refunds or credits for unused lessons after quitting in the middle of the month.

STUDENT CANCELLATIONS
If a student cannot make it to their lesson, please call to notify the store of the cancellation, leaving a message if necessary.  Students should inform their teacher of any planned lesson cancellations (i.e. vacations, etc.) in advance.  There are no credits or make-ups for missed lessons.

STORE CANCELLATIONS
If the store cancels a lesson (i.e. inclement weather, instructor illness), the student will be contacted and will receive credit for the missed lesson. If a teacher cancels a lesson, the teacher will notify the student and will be responsible for scheduling a make-up lesson for the cancelled lesson.

NO SHOWS
If a student misses lessons for more than two weeks in a row without contacting the store, their student will forfeit their lesson slot. The student is required to pay for those missed lessons.
