What Teacher expects of Student and/or Parent Guardian

Late fees are $10 and are instituted if payment is not received by due date. Checks are to be made out to Shane Clarke. Fee for non-suffient funds will be $25 extra.
- All students are required to pay a registration fee. Registration fee is $30 and will be charged upon enrollment. This fee is not refundable and will be charged on each anniversary of the student's participation in the stuio.
- I understand that it is the responsibility of the student/parent/guardian to make purchase arrangements for all books and materials.
- I agree that if student needs to cancel lessons for any reason I will inform the teacher in writing with a two week notice. Make up lesson will be offered based on availability of teacher.
- I understand that if I am sick or unable to make the lesson, I will contact the teacher immediately to reschedule. Only one make up will be issued in a 3 month period. A make up can consist of extended time at a future lesson or another day of the week at the teacher's discretion.
- No payments are refundable. Make up lessons will be offered if within guidelines.

- I understand that if I am going on vacation or need to reschedule a lesson, I will need to inform the teacher in writing a minimum of two weeks in advance, so that arrangements may be made accordingly. For extended periods of time off, I will notify teacher in advance and understand that my time slot may be used by another student unless payment is made to hold the slot during absence.
- I understand that if I want to grow as a musician it is the student's responsibility to practice on a daily basis and that the recommended period is for an average of 30 minutes 5 days per week.
- I understand that the more a student practices and the more dedicated the student is, the more progress the student will see.
- I understand that the teacher may take a week off during spring break, two weeks to be decided in the summer, and the week of Christmas to New Year’s off each year. During a teacher break, payment will not need to be made.
- I understand that my growth will come from practice, dedication and my willingness to learn.
