TUITION:

    •       Tuition is due on a monthly basis.  Please bring cash or a check to the first lesson of

            each month.  

​

​

 

BEFORE EVERY LESSON:

    •    Arrive 5 minutes prior to the lesson time so that the student can be mentally

          prepared and have the necessary materials ready (get the violin out, rosin the bow,

          and recap the week's practice goals).

    •    Silence cell phones prior to entering the studio.

    •    Be present for the lesson so that you know the week's practice goals and how to

          achieve them at home. Take notes

          or video recordings to help you practice with your child.

    •    For families with multiple children: it is the parent’s responsibility to decide who will

          go first before entering the studio.  This helps promote a positive lesson

          environment.

​

​

 

STUDENT EXPECTATIONS:

    •    Be respectful and cooperative.

    •    Practice for a minimum of 5 days a week, completing all weekly practice goals.

    •    Listen to the Suzuki CD for 1 hour daily.

    •    Bring your instrument,  practice goals sheet and Suzuki book to every lesson.

    •    Maintain short clipped fingernails and keep instruments tuned.

​

​

 

PARENT-TEACHER COMMUNICATION:

    •    Please respect the fact that teachers must start their next lessons on time.  If you

         have any questions or concerns, please address these at the beginning of the lesson

         or contact the teacher via email or telephone.

​

​

 

ATTENDANCE - SCHEDULING, RESCHEDULING and CANCELLATIONS:

    •    Students who enroll commit to attending weekly lessons (same day and time each

          week). Repeated absences will result in dismissal.

    •    Students are allowed a maximum of 1 make-up lesson per semester (tuition will not

          be reduced for missed lessons).

    •    In the event that the teacher has to reschedule, a lesson will be offered at a time

          convenient for you (rescheduled lessons cannot replace a lesson in the following

          month).

    •    There are NO refunds for "no shows”.

    •    NOTE: 60-Day Notice required for withdrawal mid-term.

​

​

 

TARDINESS:

    •    If you are going to be late, please call to let me know.  Leave a voicemail or text

         message if you cannot get through.  If this happens, remember that a shorter lesson

         is better than skipping a week.

​

​

 

HOLIDAYS & SNOWDAYS:

      •    Please check the studio calendar. If the Sun Prairie School district is CANCELLED or

           calls an EARLY RELEASE, then  all music lessons will be canceled. As is common

           practice, cancellations due to weather or other circumstances beyond Sun Prairie

           Suzuki Violin Lessons’ control are to made-up or given credit.
