• Term II – January (begins the week of Jan. 27) through May, totaling 14 lessons
• Summer – June 13 through Sept. 1, with flexibility in the start and end dates at the discretion of the private teacher and/ or student. The summer session now includes 10 lessons, instead of the 8 lessons offered in the past.

Music instructors are required to makeup one excused student absence, one school-related student absence (i.e. snow day or field trip), and any teacher absences that may occur throughout the year.

A student must give 24 hours notice of any absence, or it will be considered unexcused, except in the case of emergency. In the event of sickness, the instructor must be notified at home by 7 a.m. on the day of the lesson.

Should you choose to discontinue lessons, a refund will be granted as follows:

• 75% if within the first week of lessons
• 50% if within the first two weeks of lessons
• 25% if within the first three weeks of lessons
• No refund after the first three weeks of lessons
