Private Lessons

Membership vs. Pay-As-You-Go

MEMBERSHIP: Your weekly private lesson slot is always reserved and guaranteed for you. Members are eligible for special discounts (see Additional Lessons). Monthly tuition is based on the number of lessons each month. Tuition is collected on AutoPay on the 28th of the previous month. For example, if you are paying for lessons for the month of May, your payment would be collected on April 28th. If an AutoPay card is declined, and tuition remains unpaid, the account will be charged a 20% late fee 2 days after the payment collection was attempted. If the balance is not paid in its entirety within 7 days from the card decline, the student may not attend their lessons until payment has been made in full. It is the responsibility of the client to inform Jeanette Airen Performing Arts Studio, LLC of any expired cards, changes in card numbers, lost or stolen cards, etc. You can adjust your AutoPay credit card from the studio portal at anytime. Jeanette Airen Performing Arts Studio, LLC will not relinquish the payment responsibility of the client for any reason, nor will they authorize extended late payment plans. If an account remains unpaid for 30 days, the appropriate collections agency will be contacted.

PAY-AS-YOU-GO: Lesson times are scheduled first come first served, week by week, are based on availability and weekly lessons are not guaranteed. Only 1 lesson can be scheduled at a time on the Pay-As-You-Go plan. Payment is collected when each lesson is scheduled. Priority for lesson times is given to Membership students. If you must cancel your lesson, 24-hours notice is required. If 24-hours notice is given, you will be issued a make up credit for the class to be used to pay for your next Pay-As-You-Go lesson. In the event that you are not able to continue with your Pay-As-You-Go lessons a full refund will only be given if at least 24-hours notice of cancelation was given.

Should something come up where you cannot financially fulfill your commitment to your/your child’s lessons, we appreciate and encourage notice and open, ongoing communication.

Additional Lessons

Students registered in the monthly membership plan may purchase additional lessons beyond the weekly scheduled lessons on a first come first served basis at the membership pricing.

Substitutions

The studio reserves the right to provide a substitute teacher if the regularly scheduled teacher is ill or otherwise unable to teach classes. If your teacher must miss a lesson and the studio cannot arrange a substitute, you will be notified and your lesson will be rescheduled or, on rare occasions, your lesson will be refunded.

Cancellations

At least 24-hours notice of cancellation is required to be eligible for a make-up lesson option. If 24-hours notice is provided the student will be issued a make-up lesson credit to be used as payment for their make-up lesson. Make-up lessons cannot be scheduled at the same time as the regularly scheduled lesson time. Private lesson students are allowed 6 make-up lessons per calendar year. The make-up lesson must be scheduled within 30-days of the missed lesson. If the make-up lesson credits are not used within 30-days from the missed lesson they will expire and the makeup credit will be forfeited. Make up lessons are offered as a courtesy. If the available time slots do not work for your schedule, additional times will not be offered and your make up credits will be forfeited if they have not been used within 30-days.

Make Up Lesson Options

Choose an open time slot from the studio calendar to make up for the missed lesson. Lesson times lots are in 30-minute increments. If your lessons are 45-minutes or 60-minutes, choose 2 lesson time slots that are next to each other on the calendar to reserve enough time for your full lesson time.
Join any group class by registering the studio calendar. There will not be any refund or credit for the difference in price.
Joining a master class of the same or lesser value as your private lesson (If the master class is a higher price than your regular lesson, your fee for the master class will be reduced by the amount of your lesson to cover your make up request.)

Discontinuing Lessons

Every student stops taking lessons at some point. Please make this decision thoughtfully with plenty of discussion between the teacher, parent, and student so that lessons can cease with a positive sense of closure. For this reason, the studio requests a one (1) month written notice. The student must finish the remainder of the current month paid in full or forfeit any unused lessons, as there are no refunds given. If appropriate, a parent/student-teacher conference may be scheduled before the last lesson to establish if this might be a temporary setback that can be resolved. If, after terminating your lessons, you decide to return to the studio, you will need to fill out a new Registration Form and pay the $15 registration fee. All current studio pricing and policies will be effective at the time of registration.

Group Class Policies

Group Classes

All group classes are paid on the Monthly Membership Plan. Group Classes are held weekly for the full duration of the calendar year. See the Studio Calendar dates below for a list of studio closures. Monthly tuition is based on the number of classes each month. Tuition is collected on AutoPay on the 28th of the previous month. For example, if you are paying for classes for the month of May, your payment would be collected on April 28th. If an AutoPay card is declined, and tuition remains unpaid, the account will be charged a 20% late fee 2 days after the payment collection was attempted.

General Studio Policies

Care of Students

The studio is not responsible for providing before or after class care for students. Parents with students under the age of 5 are to remain in the studio during classes. Students are not to be left at the studio for excessive time before or after class. Since the entrance to the studio is not visible from the parking lot, please walk your child to the door and pick them up from the door for their safety. Studio staff is not responsible for your child before entering and after exiting the studio.

Vacations/Taking Time Off

Students taking extended vacations or time off during regular hours of studio operation are required to pay the regular monthly membership tuition in full in order to continue reserving the student’s lesson time. Remember you are allowed 6 make-up lessons per calendar year.

Temporary Leave

In the event that a student leaves the studio without paying for their designated time slot, the slot will not be reserved and there is no guarantee that any slot will be available upon the student’s return. In this case, the returning student will be placed on the waiting list. At least one month of written notice is required when taking a temporary leave.

Referrals

When you refer a new student you will receive a $20 credit on your next tuition invoice. Once the referred student has filled out their registration form, listing you as the person who referred them, and made their payment for their first month's tuition, first full priced pay-as-you-go lesson or musical theater or camp program, you will receive the credit on your account to go towards your next payment to the studio.

Material Usage

All students are expected to have sheet music for each song they choose to work on or script for each scene or monologue they choose to work on during their private lessons. All materials will be provided for group classes unless the student is preparing a solo. If a student is working on a solo for a group class, they are responsible for providing their own sheet music or script. Jeanette Airen Performing Arts Studio, LLC is a digital reseller for Hal Leonard, so the first copy of sheet music for a song that the student will be working on can be purchased from the studio. If the student loses their sheet music or script and needs a new copy for any reason, a re-copying fee of $1 per song or scene script will be charged. Additional fees may apply to songs or scripts that are more than 6 pages.

Students taking piano, guitar, and ukulele lessons will be required to purchase the course method book used by their instructor. Books can be purchased from Jeanette Airen Performing Arts Studio or any other bookseller as long as it is the same book suggested by the teacher. If the student will be working on a song that is not included in their book, they will need to purchase the sheet music for their lessons.

All materials for group classes will be given to the students at not additional charge. If the student loses their sheet music or script and needs a new copy for any reason, a re-copying fee of $1 per song or scene script will be charged. Additional fees may apply to songs or scripts that are more than 6 pages.

All recordings, karaoke tracks, sheet music, and scripts given to the student are to be used for educational purposes only. No duplication of these items is permitted.

Performances

All students are welcome and encouraged to participate in our bi-annual showcase performances. Performing in front of a live audience of their peers and families validates a student's hard work and gives them a way to showcase what they have learned and accomplished. For more information about the showcase performance, please visit the "Showcase" page on our website under the "Shows" dropdown menu. Other performance opportunities may be available throughout the year.

Privacy
