FEES & POLICIES • • •

Registration
Please call to reserve your lesson time.  Once you have reserved a lesson time, please submit an on-line REGISTRATION FORM (one for each student).  A $25.50 registration fee is due at this time.  You may mail your registration cheque (payable to COMMUNITY MUSIC) to the mailing address below, or, pay online using PayPal with your credit card. 

Lesson Fees and Payment
Lesson fees are $25.50 per half hour (one half-hour lesson each week is standard for beginners and up to intermediate levels).  Fees are payable by cheque in monthly amounts, with post-dated cheques dated the 15th of each month, as shown on the chart below.  Note that there are 36 lesson weeks in the Lesson Calendar – for simplicity, this is divided into 9 equal payments of 4 lessons each.

It is very important that your fees are paid in a timely way, as we cannot hold a lesson spot if fees are not being paid.  A fee of $15.00 will be charged for NSF cheques. A late payment charge of 2% per month will be applied on amounts due past 30 days.

Please make cheques payable to: Community Music

Note: Your instructor cannot accept payment. Lesson fees should be mailed to:

Missed Lessons
Instructors are not obligated to provide make-up lessons for student absences. Except in the case of extended student absences for health reasons (with proper notification), students are required to pay for all regularly scheduled lessons. 

Cancelled Lessons
If your instructor cancels a lesson throughout the year, a maximum of two lessons will be made up at the end of the instruction year, as shown on the Lesson Calendar.  When more than two lessons are cancelled, those lesson fees will be refunded at the end of the instruction year. Students who do not take advantage of scheduled make-up lessons will be considered absent and the usual policy for missed lessons will apply.

Withdrawals
After the first 8 lessons, students who cannot complete the instruction year may withdraw, without penalty, until April 1st.  After that date, a late-withdrawal fee of $102.00 will apply for withdrawals. Withdrawal is effective one week from the date of your call or written notification (e-mail) to Community Music. Withdrawal from lessons will result in forfeiture of scheduled make-up lessons.
