School Policies
Communication:
We request that all communication is made directly to us via email at juicybowtie.music@gmail.com for inquires, referrals, cancellations, permanent changes, fees and feedback.
Cancelled Lessons & Make Up Policies:
(Please note: We understand that life can be crazy; we try to be as flexible as we can be! We have these policies in place to create consistency for both our teachers and our students.)
We request a minimum of 24 hours notice for cancellation of a lesson. Lessons cancelled with less than 24 hour notice are considered forfeited.
We offer one make up lesson per month, or per payment period. Make ups must be used in the current payment period, and cannot be carried over.
Any lesson or class cancelled by the teacher will be made up without penalty to the student.
Make up lessons will be used outside of the regular day & time agreed upon; this is an agreed upon time with both the teacher and student.
We do not offer a make up lesson for any students that miss our group classes.
Payment Policies:
Lesson time & day are decided upon signing up for lessons.
Payment is available via e-transfer, cash or credit card.
Casual lessons are available and purchased in a package. Dates must be booked in advance when purchasing this type of package. All other policies apply to this type of package.
For cash and e-transfer: lessons are purchased on a 4 week cycle, with payment due no later than 48 hours after invoice is sent.
Invoices will be sent one week before the end of the 4 week cycle.
Automated credit card payments are available, please reach out for more details on our credit card billing system.
Lateness:
If a student is more than 15-minutes late, the teacher is not obligated to continue waiting for the student and the lesson will be forfeited. However, if notice is given directly to the teacher via phone/text or email that lateness is to be expected, the teacher will wait as necessary.
Note that the teacher may not be able to extend the lesson past the agreed upon weekly timeframe and a make up will not be provided for any missed time.
Holidays, Inclement Weather:
Lessons with JBM will continue through holidays as normal, with the exception of Christmas (24th & 25th) Thanksgiving Sunday and New Years (31st and 1st). If a student wishes to take another holiday off, we can schedule a make up lesson without charge or penalty or adjust accordingly.
In event that the teacher cannot make it to the agreed upon location due to inclement weather, a make up lesson will be provided.
Discontinuing Lessons:
We require a 14 day notice of permanent termination of lessons.
Referral Program:
We automatically offer a permanent 10% discount for new siblings!
New referrals - we offer a 25% discount on the first or current month of lessons for both the existing student and new student. Contact us for more details!
All discounts must be approved by school administrator directly, please reach out to us at juicybowtie.music@gmail.com for more information.
