Failure of either may result in student being dropped from the roster.
Registration, Tuition, Payments & Discounts
Each family will be assessed a non-refundable registration fee each year. This fee covers all students under one family account for the duration of the school year, including summer. Each family will receive a 10% discount for additional classes of equal or lesser value purchased under the same family. Tuition for all classes is due at time of registration. Enrollment is not complete until payment has been processed.
Enrollment is based on the semester; it is not month-to-month. Families may choose to pay for a semester in full upon enrollment or by payment plan (during the school year). Payment can be made by logging into your account or by cash/check/card at the studio. Checks should be made out to DRUM Percussion Studio. Please refer to the Offerings pages of our website for full details on courses and tuition. Late payments may result in unenrollment.
No refunds will be given for missed classes.
Cancellation/Make Up Policy/Change in Schedule
Student absence is at the discretion of each individual family. Tuition will not be prorated for absences, family vacations, etc. Should the need arise to miss a class, the student will be eligible for a workshop-style session or a rescheduled lesson, based on course of study –
Private Lessons: Up to 2 reschedules are permitted per semester during the school year (1 in summer). Families/students must notify their instructor at least 24 hours before missing a lesson to be eligible for a reschedule. Small group rescheduled lessons will be 30 min, individual rescheduled lessons will be 1 hour. Students who miss more than 2 lessons may choose to attend up to 2 additional Make Up Sessions (see below). In the rare case of teacher reschedule (Private Lessons), an alternate time will be made available as agreed between teacher/student.
Group Classes: Students must pre-register to attend a Make-Up Session (max 2 per school year semester, 1 in summer); see the Upbeat Newsletter for a registration link.
