Private Lessons Policies

Billing & Payment

All private music lessons must be paid in advance by credit card.

Upon registering, you authorize Jammin With You to charge your credit card for all invoices.

Invoices for scheduled lessons will be sent on the first of the month.

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

Music books delivered by your teacher will be invoiced and charged to your account.

Sickness and Conflict Cancellations

In the event that you need to cancel and reschedule an upcoming lesson, please utilize this form to notify the office and your teacher.

All cancellations made by a family (regardless of how far in advance they are made) must be rescheduled within 28 days of the original lesson date and are not eligible for a refund. Your teacher will offer two reasonable make-up options to reschedule the lesson. Examples of these options 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. We do not offer refunds or credits for canceled or missed make-up lessons.

No shows (lessons where the student is not on site for a lesson) will be charged and are not eligible for make-up lessons, credit or refunds.

Cancellations made on the same day as the lesson (less than 12 hours notice) are considered “late cancels” and will be charged and are not eligible for make-up lessons, credit or refunds, except in the case of sickness.

Effective January 2026

Attendance & Cancellation Policy Update

While we understand that life happens, if a student has more than two cancellations between September–December or January–June, those lessons will still be charged, and teachers are not required to offer make-up opportunities.

Religious cancellations, pre-canceled school closures, and teacher absences do not count toward the two cancellations mentioned above.

If there are extenuating circumstances, please reach out to the office to discuss. We’re always happy to work with families whenever possible to find a reasonable solution.

Changing Your Lesson Day or Time

If you would like to permanently change your lesson day or time during the year, please notify the office. We will work with your teacher/new teacher to find a new day and time and will confirm it with you in writing. We cannot guarantee a specific day or time, but we will always do our best to accommodate student preferences and scheduling.

Once your new day and time is confirmed, your next scheduled lesson will take place on the new day during the immediately following week. We must confirm your new time at least two days before that lesson. For example, if your lesson is currently on Mondays and you are moving to Thursdays, your first Thursday lesson will take place that week as long as we confirm it by Tuesday.

If we are unable to confirm your new day and time with at least two days’ notice, your first lesson at the new time will begin the following week.

Inclement Weather Cancellations

Cancellations due to inclement weather are at the discretion of the teacher even in the event that public schools are canceled. Your teacher will notify you if they plan to teach in your home or if they are only offering virtual lessons. Families are not required to convert to virtual lessons and may opt to skip and receive a credit instead. If your teacher is available to teach in-person but you decide to cancel, the lesson will not be refunded or made up.

Teacher Cancellations

Any lesson canceled by the teacher will be refunded unless a make-up is able to be scheduled.

Discontinuing Lessons

We bill on a monthly basis. To permanently discontinue lessons, please notify the office no later than the 25th of the previous month. If notification of discontinuation of lessons happens mid-month, we will not refund for the remaining month’s lessons. You can choose to have the lesson or skip without a refund.

To temporarily discontinue lessons for extenuating circumstances (i.e. broken wrist), please contact the office to discuss opportunities. We cannot guarantee the same day, time and teacher when a hiatus in lessons of more than two weeks takes place. We will always do our best to accommodate student preferences and scheduling.

Supervision

A parent or legal guardian must be on site for the duration of every in-home lesson. Your teacher will not begin a lesson if there is no parent or guardian in the home and no refund or credit will be granted.

Lessons held virtually do not require an adult on site.

Registration

A $45 non-refundable annual registration fee will be charged at time of enrollment.

To secure and finalize your Fall registration, a $100 deposit is necessary. These funds will be applied to the first month’s invoice.
