Tuition and Fees
Tuition is due prior
to taking classes. Tuition is calculated by taking the number of
lessons available from whenever a student will begin until the last
Saturday of June and multiplied by the fee per class. Payment may be
made for the entire year by credit card, cheque, or cash. If tuition is
budgeted each month, only pre-authorized credit card payments or
post-dated cheques made payable on the first of each month are accepted.
There is a $2.00 fee for budgeted payments per month. Tuition &
fees are subject to change.
To hold a class time a non-refundable deposit
of $20 is required. As well, a $10 - $15 non-refundable fee is due to
cover the cost of materials.
The student agrees to pay a $5 fee for the
return of any NSF cheque or returned credit card charge as well as any
fees charged the school by the bank because of an NSF cheque or returned
credit card charge.
A fee of $10 is charged to any student
needing an accompanist at a recital.
In-home instruction will include a
travel fee based on $.50 per kilometre from the teacher’s home to the
home of the student. In-Home Instruction
The student agrees to
have someone responsible who is 18 years of age or older in the room
where the teacher is teaching for the duration of the lessons. Cancellation of Classes
The student agrees
that should a payment not be received by the school before the 15th of
the month for any reason any further lessons scheduled are cancelled.
The appointment time scheduled is then open for anyone else to register
for that time.
The
student agrees to take a minimum of 2 months of classes. Any class may
be canceled by the student by giving 30 days written notice after the
first month.
If
there is a behavioural problem with a student, or anyone connected with
the student in any way, the school reserves the right to cancel all
classes immediately at the discretion of the school director. Any monies
not earned will be returned within 30 days.
Non-payment of any
fees due will result in cancellation of classes if not paid within ten
(10) days of notification. Personal Information
Personal information
gathered by the School is kept in confidence. Access or information is
only used as necessary to allow school staff to perform services for
which the information was gathered or for the service which was
contracted. The school also takes measures to ensure that the integrity
of this information is maintained and to prevent it being lost or
destroyed.
Any credit or banking
information used is controlled by passwords and is input into the credit
or bank processing software which is only available to your credit card
company or bank. Attendance
There are no refunds,
credits, or tuition reduction for any classes that are missed by the
student.However,
should the school receive advance notice, the school will try to put
the student in an open spot on the teacher’s schedule. If this is not
possible and the teacher must spend extra time to provide a class, a fee
will be charged for the time.
If a student is absent due to unforeseen
circumstances and the only time the student may come would have resulted
in an extra charge, the school will provide 2 classes free of charge
during the school year. There are no free classes in July and August
during summer school.
Semi-Private and Students studying in a group
setting can not be scheduled in at another time. However, to ensure
consistent progression in the group, the student may pick up the
homework sheet of the missed lesson in the teacher's file at the
reception desk. Make-up Lessons
If
an instructor cannot attend a class, the School reserves the right to
use a substitute teacher. If a substitute is not available the lesson
will be made up by the regular teacher at a time that is convenient for
the student and teacher.
If the School has closed for any other
reason, the Student will receive a makeup lesson. Bad Weather
It is the
responsibility of the Student to ensure the school is open before
attending.
Promotional Material
The School collects
statements, takes photographs and/or videos of the Students and parents
to use in brochures, websites, posters, advertisements and other
promotional materials the School creates. The school must be notified if
the school is not to use these.
