Music & More Academy policies

Studio Policies

Here you will find our studio policies. Please reach out with any questions.

Attendance Policy

 

Attendance

  • Teachers will be on time and present for all scheduled lessons/classes, barring emergencies, pre-planned vacations, or illness.
  • If the teacher has to cancel class for any reason, class will be rescheduled.
  • Students/Parents/Guardians can cancel music lessons/classes in the student portal. Any music lesson cancelled with at least 8 hours notice in the portal will automatically receive a make-up credit. Please reach out to your teacher if you have any challenges, or contact Malena.
  • Music Lesson make-up credits can be used to select an openor make-up lesson time and request it at least 24 hours prior to the start time, up to 30 days in advance. Please schedule any make-ups right away; you can do so by clicking here.
  • If you have to cancel a music lesson but did not give sufficient notice (at least 8 hours), you may request a small group make-up class with your teacher, dependent upon teacher availability.
  • Academic or Life Enrichment classes that are missed cannot be made up, but we will give you the information you need to keep up with the class.
  • If your lesson is scheduled in the Limerick studio, but you're not feeling well enough to come in, please consider an online lesson that week. That is always an option! Please stay home if you have any symptoms of cold, flu, or general illness and request an online lesson.


Closures

  • The Studio is closed for 1-2 weeks at Christmas for Christmas break and for 1-2 weeks in the summer. We are closed on Easter, Memorial Day, Labor Day, and Thanksgiving (Thursday & Friday). Any other holidays observed are on the Studio Calendar.
  • Unforeseen closures will be on Channel 6, our website, Teams, the Studio Portal, and Facebook.
  • Tuition is not discounted for vacations and holidays; they are built into the full year membership.


Curriculum

  • Your teacher will recommend lesson/class curriculum, and the studio will provide any initial curriculum needed for each student.
  • Student/Parent/Guardian is responsible for purchasing any further recommended materials.

Expectations & Responsibilities Policy

Student Expectations and Responsibilities

  • Students are expected to be on time with necessary materials or cancel via the studio portal if for any reason you are unable to keep your scheduled lesson/class, or contact your teacher directly if you will be late.
  • Proper behavior and language is expected if attending in-person at the studio at all times from students and anyone present with the student (please be understanding of individuals who have challenges, though, thank you). 
  • Students are expected to complete assigned work on time and communicate with your teacher if there is a challenge.
  • If attending classes/lessons online, please be sure that you're in a room where others are not walking through often, talking loudly, or watching TV. These are distractions that make it difficult for the student and teacher to have a great class/lesson. Thanks! :)
  • Practice regularly, 4-5 times a week using the tools we provide.
  • Participate in our bi-annual Showcases to support fellow students and share your progress and success. This is a celebration, and we love celebrating the success of each student!
  • Participate in studio special events whenever possible.


Parent/Guardian Expectations and Responsibilities

  • Be involved - helpful, supportive, and interested in what your child is learning.
  • Provide a well-maintained instrument for your child.
  • Help students reserve a regular time for practice 4-5 times a week.
  • Provide a practice environment that is free from interruptions and distractions - family, friends, TV, etc.
  • Be financially responsible and communicate any questions or concerns right away. 
  • Help with your child's online lessons and practice as needed.
  • Communicate often to your child that you are proud of their efforts and progress.

Tuition Policy

Tuition

  • Tuition is an annual membership fee, with monthly payment as the standard option. There is no discount or refund on tuition for missed lessons or classes.
  • Tuition is expected to be received PRIOR to the first day of the month, unless other arrangements have been made. Tuition MUST be paid at the agreed upon time to keep your lesson/class time as scheduled. A $25 late fee will be assessed 1 day after the given due date. 
  • Adult students/parents/guardians are expected to notify Malena right away if there are any issues with invoices, charges, discounts agreed upon, or anything else. Please allow us the opportunity to work through any challenges with you. 


What does Tuition pay for? Much more than just your lessons/classes!

  • A regularly scheduled lesson/class time with your chosen teacher(s)
  • An individualized plan for the student's course of study
  • Teacher experience and training accumulated over a lifetime
  • Preparation and rehearsal time for Showcases
  • Studio Portal, scheduling, planning, communications, administration, and organization
  • Exploring new music, expanding and maintaining the studio library
  • Planning and expenses for performances, special events, and Showcases
  • Office supplies, remote learning platforms and tools, and more
  • Facilities, taxes, utilities, etc

Waiver of Liability

I agree to hold Music & More Academy (legally Malena's Music Lessons), all contracted teachers, and any landlord or building in which I attend lessons harmless and indemnify them against any and all claims and actions arising out of the participation in music lessons and/or educational classes, including, without limitation, expenses, judgments, fines, settlements, and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any liability, injury, suit, action, loss, or damage arising or resulting from my participation, including COVID-19.

I understand that online classes/lessons are recommended and preferred by the studio during the pandemic.
