Instruction Policy

Tuition Fees:
Music lessons are 30 minutes of private instruction once each week. Tuition is $94.00 per month for all instruments. Monthly tuition fee is due on or before the 7th of each month. A $5.00 past due charge will be added to all monthly payments not made in full by the 7th of the month. If tuition is not paid in full by the 14th of the month no lesson will be given until payment is made. Tuition is non-refundable. Tuition is payable by cash, debit, or check only. Checks are to be payable to Fairview Music.

Missed Lessons:
All schedule changes must be made 24 hours in advance. Last minute cancellations and "no shows" will necessitate charging the full lesson fee for the unused time reserved for the student. Lessons canceled without advance notice for emergency or illness will only be rescheduled with the Instructor’s approval. Credits or refunds will not be given for missed lessons and current months tuition must be paid in full to schedule a make up time.
Scheduled make up lessons missed for any reason will receive no further make up, credit or refund. If the student drops from the lesson program with make up lessons still pending, these lessons will be lost.

If it is necessary to miss more than two consecutive lessons, the student's time will not be held without payment. If a student must cancel more than three consecutive lessons, the student must be removed from the schedule and reenroll.

If an instructor is absent, a substitute teacher will be scheduled. If you prefer not to take a lesson with a substitute teacher, please notify the front desk at the start of your lessons. In the event that we are unable to secure a substitute, all students will be rescheduled.
Fairview Music will be closed on the following holidays- New Year’s Day (January 1st), Easter Sunday, Independence Day (July 4th), Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day (December 25th). In addition to closed days, lessons will not be held on the following holidays, Christmas Eve (December 24th), and New Year’s Eve (December 31st). All lessons that fall on these holidays will be rescheduled in advance.

Cancellation:
Enrollment is rolling, you are assumed to be continuing into each month unless otherwise notified. Permanent lesson cancellation must be made 24 hours in advance. Last minute cancellations and "no shows" will necessitate charging the full lesson fee for the unused time reserved for the student.

Studios and Progress Reports:
Books, sheet music, and supplies will not be loaned out for any reason. Music and supplies may not be taken out of the store unless they are paid for. Young children must be kept under adult supervision at all times. Children are not to handle sales floor instruments without their parent’s direct supervision. No food, drink, or chewing gum is allowed in the studios. All students must provide their own instruments. Instruments are to be of professional quality and in working condition.

Fairview Music Progress Reports will be issued about every three months. Reports are to keep parents and students informed of their progress and to provide instructor feedback. Reports will be sent home with the student.
