Policies for RSR
Guitar Studio
Experience
has taught me that many students will have
several "no shows" during their lesson times.
Consequently, I have had to adopt the following
policies. I'm sorry if they seem a bit harsh,
but, again, this is the voice of experience.
YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE POLICIES IF YOU
AGREE TO TAKE GUITAR LESSONS WITH RSR GUITAR
STUDIO.
You must provide 24 notice to reschedule or
cancel a guitar lesson. The only exception is a
serious emergency (i.e. something involving
sirens or stethoscopes) for which you can
provide documentation. Sorry, but I plan
my schedule around your lessons, and I can't
fill a slot if the lesson is canceled at short
notice.
If you are more than 15 minutes late to your
lesson (30 or 60 minute), you forfeit your
lesson fee.
Payment for the 4 Lesson Plan is due no later
than 24 hours before the first lesson.
All lessons under this plan
must be used within an 8 week period. If
not used by that time, you forfeit your
lesson
fee. The 4 Lesson Plan will allow you to
reserve the same slot for each week, if you
choose, by scheduling lessons ahead of
time. Lessons can be rescheduled with 24
hours notice, but must be used within 7 days of
the original scheduled lesson time or you
forfeit your lesson fee for that lesson (does
not affect other lessons for the plan).
For Single Lessons, payment is also due no
later than 24 hours before the lesson.
Lessons may be rescheduled with 24 hours
notice, but must be used within 7 days of the
original scheduled lesson time or you forfeit
your lesson fee.
If you fail to contact me to reschedule, you
forfeit your lesson fee. I will not honor an
appointment time unless you have already paid
to schedule the time. Also, you must schedule
your lesson no later than 48 hours before your
planned lesson time (e.g. if you want a lesson
on Sunday at 3:30 pm, you must schedule no
later than Friday at 3:30 pm). You are welcome,
however, to schedule your lessons as far in
advance as you would like. If a conflict
arises, I will contact you for rescheduling.
If you're wondering whether I can help you
improve, you are welcome to schedule a free
initial phone consultation so we can become
better acquainted, or we can correspond via
email. I don't expect you to pay for a lesson
until you talk to me so we can discuss
how I can help you become a better
musician.
After the consultation, though, you will need
to pay in advance to schedule your time with
me. You can pay via check (I will provide you
with the address via email) or you can pay
online via Paypal (use the link on the
"Scheduling and Payments" page).
If you pay by check, the check must clear
before you may have your lesson. Returned
checks will be charged $35.00 in addition to
the check amount.
All guitar lessons must be paid for at least 24
hours in advance. If you have a scheduled
lesson, but haven't paid for it by that time,
your lesson will be canceled.
Please note: I do not make exceptions to the
prepay rule under any circumstances, so please
don't ask.
The best way to contact me is via the "Contact"
link above.
You may pay for as many guitar lessons as you
want and no more. If you only want one lesson a
month, that's fine, but you will still need to
pay in advance (with the exception of the
initial consultation). No contracts!
Parents are more than welcome to wait in the
studio while their child is having a lesson if
they wish. Parents who are taking
lessons, however, may not bring their younger
children along. Sorry, but it's RSR Guitar
Studio, not RSR Daycare :) .
I look forward to helping you become a better
musician and guitarist!
