Attendance
Rhythm is an important element in music. Maintaining a weekly lesson rhythm is also an important element in learning to play an instrument. Students are allowed one make-up lesson per semester due to illness or death in the family. Special circumstances will be reviewed case by case by the instructor and Midwest. We do not give credits for missed or cancelled lessons. We understand that you might have some weeks when your practice may not have been what it should. However, attending your lesson is still very important for you to move forward.
No lessons are given on the following holidays: New Year’s Day (1/01), Easter, Spring Break (late March), Memorial Day, Independence Day (7/04), Labor Day, Thanksgiving (Thu-Sun), Christmas (12/24-12/31). Tuition will not be charged for these holidays.
