PAYMENT
Tuition holds your weekly time slot in our teaching schedule throughout the year and  is payable monthly due the first lesson of the month. Monthly tuition fluctuates based on the number of lesson days each month.  Payment may be made by check (payable to Kaila Graef), cash, or person-to-person payment via Venmo (@marvetterose) or Zelle (kaila@kgviolin.com).

ARRIVAL
Please remove your shoes and leave them on the landing inside the front door. Allow enough time before your lesson to unpack your violin in the waiting room and wash your hands. Lesson times will not be extended for students who arrive late.

ILLNESS
Please do not come to the studio if you are sick (cough, fever, sore throat, etc.). If you feel well enough for a lesson, we can arrange to do an online lesson via FaceTime or Zoom. If you’re getting over an illness but still sniffly, please wear a mask to your lesson.

STUDENT CANCELLATION
Your lesson time is reserved exclusively for you. Canceled lessons will not be refunded for any reason. Time for make-up lessons is limited. Schedules permitting, each student will be allowed a maximum of three make-up lessons during the school year. While I will make every effort to reschedule, make ups for missed lessons cannot be guaranteed.

After three make-up lessons, further canceled lessons will be considered forfeit. This policy is out of consideration to the studio as a whole, ensuring all students have an equal opportunity to make up lessons.

Make-up lessons will be scheduled during regular teaching hours as openings become available. Please notify me of absences as far in advance as possible; this will help you and others receive a make-up lesson. Lessons missed without prior notice are not eligible for a make up. Scheduled make-up lessons will not be rescheduled for any reason (i.e. no make-ups for make-up lessons).

TEACHER CANCELLATION
Lessons that I cancel for any reason will be rescheduled or refunded.
