Private Lessons Policies

 

Billing &
Payment

  • All private music lessons must be paid in advance. During the first week of each month you will receive an invoice for all lessons scheduled.

  • All private music lessons must be paid by credit card. Once your credit card is registered, you authorize Jammin With You to charge the card for all open invoices.

  • All payments are to be made directly to Jammin With You. Under no circumstances are payments to be given directly to instructors.

Cancellation

In order to support our teachers and their dedication to our students, family cancellations will not be credited, but converted to make-up lessons. We want to continue to attract and retain the highest-quality teachers. To do so, protecting, maximizing and consistently compensating them for their time is essential. Furthermore, we believe a consistent weekly lesson is essential to a student's progress on their instrument.

General cancellations by a family will transfer to a make-up lesson. When you cancel your lesson, your teacher will give you two reasonable make-up opportunities within 14 days of your cancellation. Examples of these opportunities include moving to a virtual lesson, adding 15 minutes to future lessons, or an entirely new day and time. If you are unable to attend those make-up opportunities, you will be charged for the missed lesson.

Cancellations made on the same day as the lesson

will not be refunded or made-up.

In the event of illness, families who cancel on the same day will have the option to schedule two makeup appointments within a 14-day period.

For inclement weather and school cancelations, the lesson will be held at the discretion of the teacher or converted to a virtual lesson. If a virtual lesson does not occur, you will be refunded.

If a family member in your home has COVID-19, your lesson will automatically convert to a virtual lesson for the safety and well being of our teacher and their student population. Lessons that do not occur virtually will NOT be refunded.

Any lesson canceled by the teacher will be refunded.

If you would like to discontinue lessons entirely, we require two weeks notice in writing/email directly to the office.

Supervision

  • A parent, caregiver or legal guardian over the age of 18 must be on site for the duration of every in-home lesson. Your instructor will not begin a lesson if there is no parent, caregiver or guardian at home during the time of the lesson. No refund or credit will be granted.

  • Lessons held virtually do not require an adult on site.

Registration
