clayton string studio

The following are some guidelines to help the studio run smoothly. Please be respectful and mindful of them.

SCHEUDLE

  • Lessons will be held once a week.
  • Lessons will be scheduled out by the semester. Once you have your semester schedule then it is set for the semester unless I tell you otherwise.

MISSED LESSON POLICY

  • Lesson times will be agreed upon between teacher and parent for the academic year.
  • If you have a conflict come up, then you need to contact me at least 24 hours in advance to reschedule. The only exception to this is a medical emergency or weather related closures.
  • If you do not contact me at least 24 hours in advance then you will still be financially responsible for that lesson and it will not be made up.
  • If I have a conflict come up, I will always reschedule your lesson in a timely manner that works for us both.

MATERIALS
Students should have the following:

  • Instrument & Bow
  • Spiral Notebook
  • Folder for loose music
  • Music stand to practice with at home
  • Tuner & metronome to practice with at home (phone apps are fine!)

PAYMENT

  • I will email you a monthly invoice/schedule around the 15th of each month to confirm our lesson dates for that month and give you an invoice for the lesson fees for that month.
  • Payments for lessons are expected to be paid on a monthly basis. Payments for should be received by the first week of the month and no later than the 10th of the month. If payment is not received by the 10th of the month, a $10 late fee will be added.
  • You may make your payment in one of three ways:

RECITALS

  • Performing is an important part of learning an instrument. We will have 2 performance opportunities each year.
  • Spring recitals will have a recital fee to cover facility rental and accompanist fees added to that month’s invoice.
