MISSED LESSONS:

• Lessons should only be missed due to illness or family emergencies.  Other activities like sports or parties are not acceptable reasons for missing a lesson.
• At least 24-hour prior notification is expected for a missed lesson.  You will receive multiple phone numbers and e-mails for notifying us. 
• The teacher may be able to schedule a make-up lesson if a time slot is available.
• If the lesson cannot be rescheduled, the tuition will be credited to the following month if adequate notice has been received.
• If the teacher is unable to be at the lesson (due to illness or emergency), the tuition will be credited to the following month unless a make-up lesson is scheduled.
•  A vacation day must be arranged in advance when making your monthly payment.   Students will progress more rapidly if lessons are not missed.
• Lessons missed without 24-hour notification will result in forfeited tuition for that week.  (In the case of a genuine emergency, every effort will be made to make-up that lesson.)
• Failure to attend two consecutive lessons without notification will be considered a withdrawal from Simply Suite Music and any remaining tuition will be forfeited and that time slot will be given to another student
