If interested in signing up for private lessons, email Bri Clarke at bclarke@melomusical.org with the name of the teacher you would like to work with, if you would like 30 minute or 1 hour long lessons, and how many lessons you would like to book for.
Pricing:
- $40 for a 30 minute lesson
- $75 for a 1 hour lesson
Absence/Tardy Policies:
- Students can have two excused absences that are eligible for makeup per 10 lessons (or 1 per 5 lessons). Excused absences are defined as:
- Any absence that was communicated 24+ hours in advance
- Sickness or emergency
- Students cannot make up any lessons that are an unexcused absence. An unexcused absence is defined as:
- 10 minutes or more late (or a no show)
- Less than 24 hours notice of absence.
- If a teacher is 10 minutes or more late to a lesson, that lesson becomes eligible for makeup. (This can either be done that same day by extending the lesson end time, or rescheduling to another day).
