School Year Payment Policy 2009-2010  

Beginning August 17th.  

$50 for 1/2 month of August starting 08/17.

SEPTEMBER - MAY

$100 per month due the first lesson of the month.

The monthly charge secures a weekly half hour slot in my schedule and is not a per lesson
fee.  

The monthly payment is the same every month from September through May.
Some months have 5 lessons in them.   There is no extra charge for the 5th lesson during
those months.  During November, December and March we have vacations following the
Williamson County school schedule.  See CALENDAR for info.

There are no make up lessons.  I have no time slots in my school year schedule in which
to do them.

Cancellation Policy:  Although this payment policy is figured over the course of the school
year it is a month-to-month commitment.  If you should decide to discontinue lessons at the
beginning of a month you must give me a 24-hour notice.  If you call me the day of the
lesson or just do not show up for the first lesson of the month you will be charged for that
lesson at the individual lesson rate of $30.00 per half hour.

If lessons are cancelled because of weather, I will call you.  Otherwise you need to assume
that we are still on.  Teachers at Shuff’s have keys to the studio area.  Even if the store is
closed we can still use our rooms.  

Individual Lesson Option:
If you cannot commit to a weekly lesson you can opt for a lesson by lesson plan.  Individual
lessons are $30 a half hour.  Those lessons will have to be scheduled week by week.   A
consistent time slot cannot be guaranteed.

Showcases:    Participation is by invitation and is determined by readiness and skill. There
is a charge for participation in every show.  That amount is based on two factors:  One is
the out of pocket cost for the venue rental, equipment rental, sound man, stage hands and
other pre-show costs.  The second is how much of my time is involved outside of lessons to
rehearse and handle all the details.  Both of these factors vary depending on where we do
it how many kids are involved and how each act is configured.  The charge will also vary
accordingly.  Being in the showcases is not a requirement.
