Cancellation Policy
I value each student’s lesson time and mutual respect of the scheduled time is very important. There will be 2 make up lessons offered at the end of the year. These make ups can be used for any reason and will occur during the student's regular lesson time. There will be no additional make up lesson offered except in the case of a teacher absence. For more information on this policy, here is an article written by an economist and Suzuki parent: Make-up Lessons From an Economists Point of View
Additional Studio Policies will be sent out in a Google form for students/families to fill out at the beginning of each studio year. This policy form will be our contractual agreement for the year.
