Attendance

• Your Absence - There is no refund if the lesson is canceled without notice (no show), or less than 24 hours’ notice. Please be respectful of my time that has been blocked out for you or your child's lesson and do NOT ask for a makeup lesson or a payment credit. 

• My Absence - If I cancel a lesson, I will schedule a makeup lesson. 

• Illness or Emergencies - It happens and I'm happy to reschedule, though please let me know at your earliest convenience. *Due to Covid-19, every effort will be made to schedule a make-up. Please do not attend the lesson if you or your child are feeling ill.

• Rescheduling lessons: If you need to change a lesson time for a particular week, please let me know in advance.
