Payments:

Payments should be made at the beginning of each month. These may be brought with the student to their first lesson of each month. At this time, payments may be made with cash, check or money order only. Teachers reserve the right to refuse a lesson until payment is made.

Pricing is as follows:

• $20 per 30 minute lesson
• $40 per 1 hour lesson

Cancellations:

Please make every effort to keep your scheduled lesson. In the event you must cancel, please do so a minimum of 48 hours prior to the scheduled lesson. In this event, you will be offered a make-up lesson (if available), or a credit will be given towards the following month's lesson payment. With the exception of emergency situations (which will be considered on a case by case basis), there will be no credits or make-ups for lessons cancelled less than 48 hours prior to the scheduled lesson. Students must attend a minimum of 3 regularly scheduled lessons per month to hold their time slot.
**On the occasion a lesson is cancelled by the teacher, either a makeup lesson or credit will be given.

Be On Time:

Students are encouraged to arrive early with lesson materials ready (books/sticks, etc.) If the student arrives late, only the remainder of scheduled lesson will be given.

Lesson Termination:

We respectfully request that you give us two weeks notice prior to your last lesson. No refunds will be given for lessons already paid for at time of termination.

Required Materials:

At the minimum, students should have a pair of drumsticks, practice pad, music stand and metronome, as well as a notebook to keep any "loose leaf" assignments. Students will also be required to purchase the appropriate book(s) (to be assigned by the teacher) for their course of study. Additional materials may be recommended to help further the student's progress. 

Practice Calendar/Planner:

A practice planner is a great way to keep track of your assignments and track your progress. It is only to diligent daily practice that you will see results.  

Drums are Loud!!!:

Drums can easily reach levels known to damage the human ear. For this reason, we may require that students use some form of hearing protection during portions of their lesson.
