Teaching Policy

TL Vocal Arts Studio believes that a high quality lesson experience is what every student deserves.

In order to accomplish this, students and parents must understand and respect TL Vocal Arts Studio's teaching policy.

  • All Lessons must be paid for in advance .  A User Fee of $5.00 will be added to the cost of the completed lesson to cover the "drop in fee" status on the Student Invoice ,if prepayment for lesson was not collected.

 

  • Cancellation Notice: Notice of a Non-Sick Day cancelled lesson must be given 24hr in advance to guarantee a "Make -Up" lesson. There are 2 Make-up lessons for every Semester I/II/III  (i.e. Fall or Winter).

 

  • Lesson Termination : If a decision by a STUDENT is made that they no longer want to take lessons ,a letter of " notice to terminate" must be received by TL Vocal Arts Studio , no later than 30 days prior to the month of the last lesson. (i.e Letter  received Jan 15 for Feb 15 last lesson) A refund of all monies remaining after the last lesson will be given by the end of that month.

 

  • Lesson Time: Students must arrive for their lessons 5 mins. prior to their scheduled time. Students arriving 10 minutes late for their lesson will receive the remainder of their lesson time with NO extension. Each student has a scheduled lesson time ,so in order to be respectful ,this policy will be strictly enforced. Students/Parents may arrange lesson switches with other students when scheduling conflicts arise ,after contacting the teacher.

 

  • All  students who have had 10-12 weeks of lessons are REQUIRED  to participate in a minimum of One - Voice Master-class/Workshop ,as well as either the Year-End Studio Recital and/or a Community Performance.

 

  • Parent Lesson Attendance:  Parents are welcome to set up a time when they would like to sit in on their child's lesson with 14 days notice to the teacher. No more than 2 lessons a Semester will be considered reasonable.

 

  • All students will be tested on their level of improvement at the end of each term.In order to receive a Level Completion Certificate students must participate in a minimum of  12 hours of lessons.
