Be courteous to my neighbors as you drive slowly up our commonly owned drive and be respectful of all personal property.
Arrangements will be made to make up lessons that have been cancelled for excused absences.
Excused absences are illness, a death in the family or bad weather.
If a lesson is missed due to any other scheduling conflict, I will not make up those lessons or return the fee.
During bad weather, call ahead - I will leave a message on the answering machine indicating the state of the roads near the studio. Leave a message as to your decision. A piano lesson is not worth losing a life or damaging a car. I will do all I can to make up that lesson or give a refund if it is appropriate.
