STUDIO Lesson Policies
Please Note
For children's lessons, a parent or responsible adult must be present in the home during lessons.
Tuition
- Tuition is conveniently processed on the first of each month by pre-authorized credit card or direct debit.
- You’ll only be charged for lessons that take place, as long as you provide your teacher with at least 48 hours’ notice for any missed lesson.
Payments
- Payments are processed automatically on or about the first of each month.
- Payments are made directly to Key Mobile Music and not the instructor.
- Payments may be made by Visa/Mastercard or pre-authorized direct debit.
- Payments are processed at the beginning of the month for the same month.
- Lessons may be suspended if payment is not received in a timely manner.
Missing a Lesson
- If you need to miss a lessons, please notify your teacher as soon as possible. To receive a credit for the missed lesson, you must notify your teacher at least 48 hours in advance of the lesson.
- Lessons missed with less than 48 hours’ notice will not receive a credit or refund.
- If a teacher needs to cancel a lesson, a credit will be issued and applied to the following month’s tuition.
- If the teacher arrives for an in-person lesson and no one is home — or if the instructor logs into an online lesson and the student is not present — the teacher will wait 10 minutes before leaving or logging off. In this case, no credit or make-up will be provided.
- While most families understand our missed lesson policy, sometimes they are looking for more information on why we have the policies we do. The following article hopes to make sense of this issue in the private music lesson world: Makeup Lessons from an Economist’s Point of View - Vicky Barham

- Please turn off the TV, radio, electronic games, etc.

Discontinuing Lessons
- Every student at KMM is enrolled on a month-to-month basis. To discontinue lessons and to discontinue charges to your account, please fill out the withdrawal form before the 15th of your last month. We do not prorate tuition for the last month’s lessons.
- We reserve the right to withdraw a student from lessons based on poor attitude, disruptive behaviour, or difficult parents.
