The Adult Learner policies for Pineapple Music Studio, Inc.
are as follows:
Lessons:
1. Lessons will be conducted in the student’s
home.
2. Students should have all their necessary materials on hand for each lesson. The practice/lesson space
should be a quiet, distraction free space.
3. Students who practice regularly progress faster and enjoy lessons more! Students are
expected to have a regular time each day to practice.
Tuition:
2. All tuition payments are due on the 1st of each month. If your tuition is received after the 4th of the
month, a $25 late fee will be applied. This fee will also apply to any declined credit card payments. Also, out
of consideration for our teachers, if payment in full is not received by the 15th of the month, lessons will be
suspended until tuition (plus the late fee) is received.
3. Any credits that need to be applied due to a
teacher cancelling a lesson will be available on the following month’s invoice.
4. Your teacher will work
with your student to determine the books that are needed. You may go out and purchase them yourself, or have
your teacher place an order with Pineapple Music. You will be charged a $2.00 handling fee per book. Book
purchases will be billed with your tuition invoice.
5. If you should choose to discontinue lessons
for some reason, you must give your teacher and the studio a full month of notice before stopping lessons by
sharing your intentions when you send in your final month’s payment at the beginning of that month or you
will be charged a $60 retainer fee that goes directly to the teacher.
Cancelled or Missed Lessons:
1. Cancelled or missed lessons will not be credited. Because
specific times are set aside for specific students, a student who does not attend a lesson will simply miss the
benefit of that lesson. Please be assured that your tuition pays for far more than just the time your teacher
spends with your child. There are no refunds, discounts or make-ups given unless your teacher is unable to teach
the promised number of lessons.
2. Illness: If you are unable to keep your scheduled lesson time due to
illness, you may set up a cyber lesson with your teacher. Make-ups for illness or emergencies can also be made
up during one of our studio breaks of Thanksgiving or Easter. You may schedule to make up one missed lesson with
your teacher each semester.
3. Weather/COVID-19 Cancellations: Lesson cancellations due to outside
circumstances will be made up using a cyber lesson.
4. COVID-19 Policy: The studio reserves the right to
move to cyber lessons at their discretion for the safety of their families and teachers.
Summer Months:
1. The months of June, July and August will be pro-rated weekly. Your monthly tuition
will be based on a form you will be sent at the end of the previous month.
2. In order to maintain your
preferred time slot in your teacher’s schedule over the summer, you must take at least two lessons a month. If
you should choose to take off 3 or more lessons in one month, you may secure your time slot by paying a $60
retainer fee (per student, per month). This fee will be passed on directly to the teacher. If you choose not to
hold your spot with this fee, please be advised we will consider your lessons discontinued and any tuition increases applicable to new families would apply.
Studio Breaks and Holidays:
Pineapple Music Studio will be closed for the following breaks and
holidays:
• Labor Day (First Monday of September- this class is made up the Monday of our Thanksgiving
Break)
• Thanksgiving Break (Week leading up to Thanksgiving)
• Winter Break (Week between Christmas
and New Year’s)
• Spring Break (Week leading up to Easter)
• Memorial Day (Last Monday of May- this
class is made up the Monday of our Easter Break)
• Independence Day (July 4th)
No regular lessons will be taught on these days. This allows our students and teachers to spend time away and with their families. These lessons will not be made up at another time except for the two Monday-only holidays. The Fall Semester will have 16 lessons scheduled per student and the Spring Semester will have 20 lessons scheduled per student.
