Lesson Policies

• The cost for private lessons at Hollowood Music Academy is $20 per half-hour. The payment is to be made as monthly tuition and is due on the first lesson of the month. The tuition for a four-week month is $80; a five-week month is $100. There are no refunds.

• The lessons are scheduled to be met at a regularly scheduled time each week. When scheduling a lesson time, it is strongly recommended to choose a time that will not be interfered with by other commitments or obligations.

• A lesson will be credited or rescheduled if the instructor cancels or if the student provides a minimum of twenty-four hour notice. Limit of one per month. A “no show” by the student will not result in a rescheduled or credited lesson.

• A “no show” on a week when a payment is due may be interpreted by the instructor as a discontinuation of lessons. Failure to pay tuition in a timely manner may result in a termination of lessons.

• If the student decides to discontinue lessons, please be courteous and notify the instructor so they can fill the vacant time.

• Payments are to be made by cash or check only. Payment by credit or debit cards is not accepted. Checks are to be made payable to the instructor and not Hollowood Music Academy. If the check is returned, the student must pay the full amount in cash the following week in addition to any fines or penalty fees administered to the instructor’s account.

• Please attend the lessons with your instrument in a case and in good working condition. Appointments with the in-store technician (Mike Bonelli) can be scheduled in conjunction with your lesson time.

• Becoming a skilled musician requires serious effort, dedication, diligence and patience. Practice must be done daily and consistently.

• The instructors appreciate the good rapport they develop with their students. Maintaining these policies stated above will result in a mutually beneficial experience for both the student and the instructor.
