Dempster Guitar Studio Policies Registration and payment: Student registration is complete when the Enrolment Form has been filled out and payment is made.  No lesson time will be reserved or finalized until the registration and payment arrangements are complete.  Lessons are paid in advance in groups of at least four (4).  Cash or cheque is accepted and a receipt will be issued.   Lessons Missed by the Student: When a student enrols for lessons, the instructor commits a weekly time for lessons.  Both the instructor’s income and the music instruction budget are dependent on the fees generated by these reserved times.  It is therefore not possible to offer refunds for lessons missed or cancelled by the student.  Each student is allowed two (2) cancellations per block of twelve lessons provided that the studio receives a minimum of 24 hours notice.  Lessons cancelled because of social events or lack of time will not be refunded or made up.  After two cancellations in a block of twelve lessons, lessons missed by the student will not be rescheduled.  A cancellation allowance that is not used may not be rolled over to a future lesson block. Makeup lessons are used to replace excused cancellations.  Makeup lessons are scheduled at a time that is convenient for both the instructor and the student.  Missed Group Lessons: Missed group lessons or workshops will not be refunded or rescheduled. Lesson Forfeits No-Shows, which result from the student not giving any notice of absence, will be charged as a Lesson Forfeit.  Calling during or after lesson time is also considered a No-Show.  Late cancellations and No-Shows are not covered under the ‘Lessons Missed by the Student’ described above. Lessons missed by the Instructor: If I am unable to teach a scheduled lesson, I will give as much advanced notice as possible.  I will reschedule your lesson as soon as possible. Refunds: Classes and private lessons already underway have no refund policy. Inclement Weather (Mainly snow days): The studio does NOT always close when the School Board closes schools.  Quite often the roads are cleared by the time lessons begin in the afternoon.  If the weather is questionable please contact the Studio at 461-0256.  I appreciate your understanding when I do close and thank you for your cooperation when I call to reschedule the missed lesson. Practice and Instrument policy: Students must have an instrument at home to practice on; otherwise they will not progress in their lessons.  Practice sessions of at least 20 minutes a day, 5 times per week are recommended.  Without practice, a student’s progress in lessons is greatly reduced and holds back other students progress in a group lesson.  The Studio will supply amplifiers for electric guitarists. Suspension of Students: Dempster Guitar Studio reserves the right to suspend students for non-payment of tuition or inappropriate conduct. Cancellation of Instruction: Dempster Guitar Studio reserves the right to withdraw any course or level of instruction at any time without notice or liability other than to refund tuition fees received for lessons cancelled due to such withdrawal. Agreement: It is hereby understood and agreed that the student and parent/guardian of the student agree to comply with the policies of Dempster Guitar Studio.
