Lesson Policies – Andy Warr Music

These policies outline how lessons are scheduled, attended, and supported across all lesson tiers and offerings.

Schedule and Attendance

  • Each subscription includes up to four lessons per month.

  • Lessons occur weekly at a reserved timeslot.

  • In months with a fifth occurrence of your lesson day, no lesson is held during that week.

  • Drop-in sessions are scheduled based on availability and are not part of a subscription.

  • If a weekly lesson falls on an instructor unavailable date, the lesson will be rescheduled whenever possible. If a reschedule cannot be arranged, the student will receive a prorated credit equal to one-fourth of the monthly subscription amount.

  • Lessons are not held on observed studio holidays, which are already factored into the subscription structure.

  • For holidays and instructor unavailable dates, please see the Studio Calendar.

Cancellations and Rescheduling

  • Students may reschedule one lesson per month with at least 24 hours’ notice, subject to availability.

  • Lessons cancelled with fewer than 24 hours’ notice are considered completed.

  • If the instructor must cancel, a makeup lesson or credit will be provided.

  • Missed lessons (no-shows) are not refundable.

  • Late arrivals do not extend the lesson time.

Billing and Payments

  • Subscriptions are billed monthly on the 1st of each month.

  • New students beginning mid-month receive prorated billing for their first month.

  • Monthly fees reserve a weekly timeslot; they are not adjusted for missed lessons.

  • Payment is required to confirm or maintain a reserved timeslot.

Mid-Week Check-Ins (Saxophone Lessons Only)

  • Mid-week check-ins are included in all weekly saxophone subscription tiers (Foundations, Development, and Advanced).

  • Check-ins are brief and may be conducted by phone, video chat, message, audio note, or short video.

  • Check-ins provide targeted guidance, clarification, and practice support between lessons.

Communication

  • Email or text is acceptable for scheduling, questions, and general communication.

  • Students may submit short audio or video clips for practice feedback as part of their tier’s mid-week check-in support.

  • Parents of younger students may communicate on behalf of the student as needed.

Lesson Materials

  • Students are responsible for bringing required materials (instrument, reeds, music, notebook, laptop, etc. as appropriate to the lesson type).

  • Digital materials may be provided when applicable for saxophone, theory, or music technology lessons.

Pausing or Ending Lessons

  • Students may pause a subscription for one month with 14 days’ notice.

  • Longer pauses may result in losing the reserved timeslot.

  • To end lessons, please provide 14 days’ notice; the subscription will end at the next billing cycle.

Studio Expectations

  • Students are expected to arrive prepared and ready to work.

  • Consistent practice is essential for progress across all lesson types.

  • Respectful and professional communication ensures a positive and productive learning environment.
