In my current schedule I teach an average of 70 lessons per week and my waiting list for permanent spots is growing. With the increased demand for lessons, I find it necessary to have cancellation guidelines for my studio to run efficiently. Here are the guidelines:
Invoices will be e-mailed at the beginning of the month.
Two Days’ notice is required for any cancelation to receive a makeup lesson, no exceptions.
There are no credits for missed lessons regardless of how much notice I receive.
To be fair to me and other students, makeup lessons cannot accumulate over time (if you miss two lessons before one can be made up, you will only be allowed one makeup).
Lessons missed due to Illness: I recognize that sometimes students get sick the day of a lesson, but I cannot be responsible for a missed lesson when I cannot fill the spot.
If a long term conflict does not allow for a student to continue weekly lessons, a spot will only be held if it is paid for. Average wait time for a regular lesson spot is 3 to 6 months.
In the event of a cancelation, please e-mail me as early as possible. Once I receive a cancelation e-mail, I will post the open time on the “makeup lesson spots” tab on ericclemenzi.com. The spots available will be updated regularly on the site. A Facebook group has also been created for automated cancellation updates (e-mail me if you would like to be added). For the time being, Friday from 7:00pm to 7:30pm will be my weekly makeup spot. I will also take time out of my regular teaching schedule and add makeup blocks around Thanksgiving, Winter break, etc. If you would like one of the available times listed on my site, simply e-mail me with the time and day. All makeup lessons are first come, first served.
In the event you would like to stop lessons, I kindly ask that you pay for three additional lessons after notice is given. This allows me time to find a new student to fill the spot being vacated.
