Lesson Policies
Tuition is paid in advance for all lessons/classes/workshops. Your monthly tuition reserves a weekly day/time for your private lesson. Tuition is based on the number of lessons scheduled each month which is determined by the TTUSD calendar.
Payment is prorated for the first month (if not starting lessons at the beginning of a month) along with a one-time registration fee of $25 and is due at the time of registration. Thereafter, full month’s tuition payment will be charged automatically at the beginning of each month. Lesson tuition is nonrefundable.
I agree to provide credit card information and have my account automatically charged at the beginning of each month. Your credit card will not be charged until your lesson schedule has been confirmed. I understand that I will not receive refunds or lesson credits for lessons that I do not attend.
Tahoe Truckee School of Music (TTSM) observes the same holidays as the Tahoe Truckee Unified School District (TTUSD). Lessons will not be provided and you will not be charged unless you make special arrangements to schedule a lesson on a holiday.
TTSM is generally open on TTUSD declared snow days. Credits for TTUSD declared snow days will only be issued if no lesson occurred and your instructor did not offer a virtual lesson option.
Lessons missed due to student absences are not refundable. However, each student is allowed two make-up lesson every six months, as long as the cancellation is made more than 48 hours before the lesson time and the credit is used within 30 days of the cancellation. Students enrolled in lessons are expected to notify the instructor as soon as possible if they are going to be absent for any given class so the instructor can plan accordingly.
Students are registered until the School is notified that the student will be discontinuing. We must receive at least 7 days notification before the beginning of the next month. TTSM does not refund tuition or provide credits or make-up lessons for lessons canceled by the student.
I give the Tahoe Truckee School of Music permission to record, videotape, or photograph my child (or self) during his/her participation in lessons, classes, recitals, or other events that are TTSM sponsored and used for the purposes of promotion and archive.
I hold the employees/contractors of the Tahoe Truckee School of Music and its endeavors harmless from liability during the time my child (or self) is participating in any TTSM programs, except in cases of gross negligence
The policies stated above are to remain in effect the entire time the student is taking lessons or involved in any other TTSM programs.
