TERMS & CONDITIONS
Live Music Academy Policy
Welcome to Live Music Academy. There are no long-term contracts because we believe students will continue lessons if we provide great services and great instructions. Sometimes, students and parents unsure if the instrument they choose to study will work out, so we teach month-to-month bases but in order for us to provide high quality education we ask that you agree with the following terms
Registration Fee
No Registration fee at this time
Payment
Because we don’t have a long-term contract, each student must prepay for the month ahead to continue the education. 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 lose your spot on the schedule. Monthly fee is $160.00 per month for 30 min weekly lessons via debit/credit card and are withdrawn on the 1st day of every month.
If you would like to opt out of autopay, for manual payments there is a $10 fee per month due to the added cost of manually processing and following up on payment with the student and/or parent. Personal checks and money orders are priced as manual payments and must be brought to the first lesson of the month. If you decide to stop the lessons, no refund will be given for the month already paid.
Rescheduling
We have seen that students that miss lessons are falling behind on their progress. However, if you cannot come to the classes, we do try to reschedule your lesson for another time, if you call 24 hours in advance. LIMIT 1 MAKE-UP or REFUND PER QUARTER (3 months)
If you have used up 1 make-up lesson and need to reschedule another lesson you must notify 24 hour in advance and there will be a rescheduling fee of $15 per each rescheduled lesson. No refund or make up lesson will be granted if not notified 24 hours in advance by text or call.
Group classes cannot be rescheduled. The student is responsible for getting missed material from the teacher or other students.
Missed lesson
Outside of the make-up policy mentioned above, since we have a specific lesson time slot reserved for each student and have a legal obligation to pay the instructor for that reserved slot, payment must be made regardless of attendance. This includes illness, vacations, etc. If a Live Music Academy instructor misses a lesson and no sub is provided, a refund for the missed lesson will be granted.
Holidays and Events
Live Music Academy will be closed for 4th of July weekend, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas week and Easter. This will still give each student 48 lessons a year due to the 5th lesson a month that occurs 4 times a year. Live Music Academy will provide 2 recitals a year. To see detailed scheduled information visit our page https://www.livemusicacademy.net/schedule1.html
Instructors
Students and parents will have a chance to rate the instructors. If you’re not satisfied with your instructor, our management will reassign the student to a different qualified teacher. We take time to conduct background check 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 traffic 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 practice at home and bring additional material that is required for each class.
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. By signing up, the student agrees to release, hold harmless, and indemnify Live Music Academy from all known and unknown claims arising from or related to instruction by Live Music Academy or its instructors, including but not limited to, all claims of negligence whether injury is sustained on or off Live Music Academy premises.
Practice
In order for students to do well we ask that students keep a record of a “practice record” in their registration package notebook, be on time and always bring their books and binders.
I grant permission for the student to participate and appear in video or audio recordings, films, photographs, written articles, websites and social media sites. This consent includes the use and editing of the student’s image, voice and name in media projects by the Live Music Academy to print, broadcast to Internet media outlets such as newspapers, radio and television stations, and news websites. In consideration of the opportunity for the student to participate, I release Live Music Academy, including it’s employees and contractors, from all claims resulting from the use and editing of my student’s image, voice or name, and the use, sale, editing and release to media outlets. If you DO NOT APPROVE the media release terms please let Live Music Academy management know and we will make sure that the student is not featured in any of the above mentioned.
* Rates and policy are subject to change each semester.
