Lessons Terms and Conditions

LESSON SERVICES. This Student Enrollment Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions of your purchase of instructional services from Watkins Music

Individual Lessons. Every student interested in lessons receives a free 30 minute lesson. After the trial lesson, the recurring tuition fee provides students with individual weekly lessons per month.

TUITION. The tuition fee is due after the trial lesson and before the first lesson. Tuition will be invoiced for one month (four weeks) of lessons. If the student starts lessons in the beginning of the month, then the invoice will be for four lessons. In the event that weekly lessons in the middle of the month, the lesson package will be prorated for the amount of weeks remaining in that month. Despite some months containing five weeks, the monthly tuition for the lesson package always includes four lessons. Prices for the lesson package can be found on Watkins Music LESSON page. Tuition does not include curriculum and materials costs. We may increase monthly fees in future months upon 30 days’ written notice. Students may customize their lesson package, however this must be done in consultation after the trial lesson and before the first lesson.

Tuition fees may be refunded in full prior to the delivery of any instructional services, with written notice received within 24 hours of your initial registration date (which may be provided at the designated email address).

REGULAR ATTENDANCE is critical to the success of lessons. Please plan to attend all lessons and arrive on time and prepared.

CANCELLATION/RESCHEDULE POLICY. To cancel or reschedule a lesson at no cost, you must provide at least 24 hours prior notice. We will reschedule your lesson subject to instructor availability. If you do not show up for a lesson or if you do not provide adequate notice, you will be charged for the missed lesson. To encourage attendance and the use of lessons, all unused lessons will expire and be forfeited ninety (90) days after purchase. There will be no refunds or cash redemption available for expired unused lessons.

If Tom needs to cancel or reschedule a lesson, then he will give at least 24 hour notice. In the event that Tom is not able to make-up a missed lesson that he canceled, then he will deduct the lesson(s) from the following month’s tuition invoice.

To cancel your enrollment, and to terminate your lessons, you must provide written notice, which may be provided by email (at the designated email address), prior to the upcoming billing date of the subsequent month. Termination is effective on the date of notice. In the case of enrollment cancellation, all lesson tuition fees are non-refundable, and any unpaid fees are immediately due. All unused lessons for canceled enrollment accounts will expire and be forfeited thirty (30) days from the date of notice of cancellation. There will be no refunds or cash redemption available for expired unused lessons for canceled enrollment accounts.

Watkins Music Lessons may, at its option, cancel your enrollment if you (a) do not make timely payments; (b) you fail to show up without notice for 2 consecutive lessons; (c) your conduct is rude, improper, or harmful; or (d) you have not taken a lesson for 90 days.
