If you need to reschedule a lesson, I will do my best to accommodate you. Please check my Google Calendar here.
Makeup lessons can be done one of three ways:
- Find an available time in my schedule.
- I offer occasional Saturday makeup days throughout the year.
- Asynchronous makeups. Record your student playing their pieces and asking any questions they have. Send that video to me. Then during their regular lesson time, I'll listen to it and offer guidance.
In person makeup lessons are rescheduled at a mutually convenient time. Though I try to accommodate everyone's busy schedules, I cannot promise my schedule will allow for all lessons to be made up. As much advance notice as possible is greatly appreciated. I will not reschedule lessons without a minimum of 24 hour notice. I am aware emergencies arise. If your child is sick the morning of a lesson, please contact me for a makeup lesson right after you call the school.
The following are NOT emergencies and will not be made up:
1) I forgot my instrument/reeds/music/etc. at home/school/grandma's house. In these cases, I recommend you attend your lesson anyway. I can create a one-time lesson plan for that day.
2) I forgot I have a concert/party/game/practice/etc today. These lessons will not be made up if 24-hour notice is not provided.
No tuition credit is given for missed lessons. If you give me significant advanced notice, I can also "pre-pone" a lesson and make up the lesson before your regularly scheduled lesson time.
You may reschedule up to four lessons per school year, but if you are constantly needing to reschedule, I will work with you to find a more convenient time for you to have your permanent time.
If you find that you have a regular conflict - a seasonal sports schedule or a work schedule change, contact me to find a new regular time for your lessons.
