Please sign and initial each item. Return by the first lesson of the new session. A new copy will need to be signed for each NEW session.
DROP OFF and PICK UP TIME
__________ Please arrive no earlier than five (5) minutes before the scheduled lesson. Make sure your child is inside safely before leaving. Students pack up five(5) minutes before their lessons ends, so they can be out the door on time for pick up. The front door will remain locked between lessons and will be open five (5) minutes before and after lessons. Please pick up your child on time. Call or text if you need to pick up your child early or are running late. Mrs G Rules of the Road draft 5.pdf
TUITION PAYMENT
_____ There are no refunds or credits for illness, inclement weather, or missed classes due to scheduling conflicts . A monthly schedule is posted to your account and any changes will be made by the 25th of the month. Tuition fees are run on the 5th of the month to the payment method that is saved in your parent portal. If the tuition payment does not go through on the 5th, our system will apply a $15 late fee that will be applied to your next months tuition. Please plan accordingly.
ABSENCES
__________ Due to the nature of the group class, there will be no make-up lessons for individual absences. No make up lessons for unexcused absences for any solo lesson as well.
TEACHER CANCELLATIONS
_____ If the teacher cancels the class, the tuition for that lesson will be applied to your My Music Staff account and reflected in the next month's tuition.
SESSION AGREEMENT
_____ Families are obligated to pay for lessons for the entirety of a session, once that session begins, even if your child does not continue for the entirety of that session.
- Session 1 - September-December (Fall/Winter); Session 2- January May (Winter/ Spring); Session 3 - June-August (Summer/ Camps).
RECITAL FEE
_____ A Winter (Session 1) and Spring (Session 2) recital fee will be included on each student’s tuition for the month in which the recital or community performance opportunity will be held.
LESSON NOTES
_____ I understand I am expected to read weekly lesson notes for my child. A weekly email will be sent out after each lesson with reminders, important dates, and specific lesson details about what your child is expected to practice during the week and expected to have prepared for class the following week. Notes are usually sent within 24 hours after the lesson. If you ever have questions about the notes, need other resources in order to practice OR have not received the notes, please contact Mrs. G.
PREPAREDNESS EXPECTATIONS
_____ If your child consistently comes to class unprepared i.e: has not practices and does not have their required materials, it is not only negative for their own progress, but the classes ability to have forward progress. If this becomes a consistent issue these steps will be taken.
Week 1- Talk with the student about their practice routine and how coming to class having practiced and with their required materials is important to their musical success and further learning. This concern will also be indicated in the lesson notes for parents to read.
Week 2- A text or email will be sent to parents reminding them of the importance of practice and coming prepared to class (including bringing all materials). If you need any assistance developing a routine please ask or have any questions about lesson notes or practice materials, please ask.
Week 3- A phone call will be made to the parent to discuss the issue and how it can be resolved immediately.
Week 4- A student may be asked to move to another class or asked not to return to class.
- Please know this will not be taken lightly. I understand that things happen that cannot be avoided, but if it seems that practice and preparedness is not a priority for your child and your family, you are not getting the most out of your investment. This is not positive to your child's experience in lessons and I only ever want them set up for a positive learning experience and a positive outlook on music. Young children must have someone involved in their practice and getting them prepared. A young child cannot do this on their own. We need to work as a team to help them succeed!
STUDENT CLASS PLACEMENT
_____ If students are showing they are ready to move UP to a higher skill level a change in class may occur. Similarly if a student is showing that they need to move DOWN to a lower level class a change in class may occur. I want to do my best to set your child up for success and placing them in a group at their playing level with a similar learning pace is for their benefit.
BEHAVIOR EXPECTATIONS
_____ If your child develops and/or displays consistent behavior that is detrimental to the others and their learning in the class, they will be given one (1) warning and a parent will be contacted. If the behavior continues a parent meeting will be scheduled to discuss a plan to correct the behavior before moving forward. If the behavior still continues the child will be dismissed from the class, no tuition fees will be returned, and the session agreement still applies. ZERO TOLERANCE FOR BULLYING (IN-PERSON OR ONLINE) OR ILLEGAL SUBSTANCE USE IN THE STUDIO.
MEDICAL EMERGENCIES
_____ As parents or legal guardians of the child, we do hereby give authority to staff members of Glaser Music Studio to obtain all necessary medical assistance for the child in the event of an emergency, including the care of a physician and/or hospital. This authorization is granted for situations when a parent or guardian cannot be reached immediately.
PARENT RELEASE
_____ Every possible precaution will be taken to prevent accidents and to avoid injury. However, in the event of some unfortunate accident or injury, I do hereby release The Glaser Music Studio, the owners, and the staff members from any and all liability resulting therein.
Please sign and initial each item. Bring to your child’s first lesson.
