Policy & Pricing for Live Music Academy students
Live Music Academy Policy
Welcome to Live Music Academy. There are no long-term contracts because we believe students will continue if we provide great service and great instructors. Sometimes, students and parents unsure if the instrument they chose to study will work out, so we teach on month-to-month bases
Payment
Because we don’t have a long-term contract, each student must prepay for the month ahead in order to continue the education. If you decide to stop the lessons, no refund will be given for the month already paid. Payment must be made at the 1st lesson of the month. If you do not make a payment on the 1st lesson of the month you might loose your spot on the schedule. If a payment is not received by the 10th of the month, there will be a $10 late fee added to your monthly payment.
Payment type:
You may pay for the lessons by check, cash or credit/debit card automatic withdrawal. Most students set up an automatic withdrawal with credit card, this way they don’t need to worry about loosing a spot or late fee. Each month you will get a receipt by email and if you need to stop lessons, just give us a call or email us. If by any chance there was an error on your credit card charge we promise to correct it with in 24 hours. We encourage setting up for automatic withdrawal as it helps us keep the cost down.
Automatic withdrawal – no fee
Check, credit/debit cards - $3 processing fee (each month)
Canceled or missed lesson
We have seen that students that miss lessons are falling behind on their progress. Since we don’t have long term contract we do not allow cancelation. That means you get 4 lessons a month. However if you cannot come one of those classes we do try to reschedule your lesson for another time, if you call 24 hours before the lesson. No refunds for missed classes. In case of emergency you may be able to make up the class at a different day. Rescheduling fee is $10
Rescheduling
You may reschedule your individual lesson no more than twice in a semester or due to emergency, but must call 24 hour before your lesson. Make up class may be with another instructor and/or at a different day. If LMA is not able to find a day for make up lesson then we will refund the money. Rescheduling fee is $10
Group classes cannot be rescheduled. The student is responsible for getting missed material from the teacher or other students.
Instructors
Students and parents will have a chance to rate the instructors. If you’re not satisfied with your instructor, we will try another teacher. We do background checks on all our teachers so we can provide safe environment for our students.
Be on time and prepared
Come to class at least 5 minutes before the lesson and keep in mind the tra c delays. The teacher cannot delay class, so if you are late, your session will be shorter and you will miss important material.
You must have your own instrument at home to practice. Students should bring their own instruments to class (except piano or drums). Students are required to purchase books and additional material that is required for each class and bring them to lesson every time.
Safety First
As a parent you may stay for the lesson in the classroom each time or you may wait in the lobby. If you decide to leave your kids unattended during the lesson, before or after the lesson, please understand that this is at your own risk. Live Music Academy doesn’t take reasonability for student’s safety and locating them before or after the lesson. We highly suggest that parents walk their children to the classroom and pick them up at the classroom right after the lesson. This is also a good way to connect with the teacher after each lesson.
Practice
In order for students to do well we ask that students ll out a “practice record” on a weekly basis and submit to instructor at the end of each month. Instructor will grade student based on their homework practice and attendance.
* Rates and policy are subject to change each semester.
