Safety
- At Velocity Music Academy, the safety of your children is important to us.
- However, Velocity Music Academy does not have someone on staff to watch your children before of after scheduled lesson times. It is highly recommended that an adult stay in the building while younger children take their lessons, and drop-off and pick-up all students promptly.
- Velocity Music Academy is not responsible for the safety of your child before or after their regularly scheduled lesson times. This includes, but is not limited to: early drop off, late pick-up, or arriving at the academy at an incorrect lesson time.
- All students must sign a waiver and policy statement before beginning lessons.
- Parents are always welcome to observe lessons!
Tuition & Payment
- Tuition is paid monthly (Summer: 3 months, Fall: 4 months, Spring: 5 months).
- A $35 registration fee is charged to all new students ($45 per family). A semester $30 recital fee is charged at the beginning of the Fall and Spring semesters.
- If paying for lessons or music by check or cash, please leave the check in the “tuition box” at Velocity Music Academy. Be sure to write the student’s name on the check or envelope for the cash.
- If you wish to withdraw from lessons, a 2 week notice must be given in writing (e-mail). Once we receive your request to withdraw from lessons, you will be responsible for the payment of 2 more lessons. This applies to private and pairs lessons only. Other programs, such as Music Together® and summer camps are programs that must be paid in full. No refunds will be given for Music Together® and Summer Camps after the start date.
- All Music assigned to students will be charged to your account. Music will not be distributed to students until payment has been made. All invoices must be paid within 7 days.
- If you stop lessons and decide to re-enroll at a later date, the enrollment fee will be charged to your first month’s bill.
Music Together® Policies
- Music Together® policies, class rules, and payment options are listed on a sheet of paper given to each participant at the start of each Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer session.
Missed Lessons
- Make-up lessons are only scheduled during a teacher’s available teaching hours. Students may request 1 make-up lesson per semester.
- With the payment of tuition, a lesson slot is reserved in Velocity Music Academy’s teaching schedule for the student every week that the studio is open. As long as tuition is current, the student has the freedom to choose not to come to a lesson, without risk of losing his/her place in the studio. If you miss a lesson, there will be no credits or refunds given.
- If you just do not show up for a lesson, no make-up lesson will be offered.
