Private Lesson Policies

2023-2024 SCHOOL YEAR begins August 21, 2023 and ends June 6, 2024. There will be a recital performance on Saturday, June 1, 2024. The recital fee is $40 per student and will be added to your annual tuition. This fee covers instrument rental and time for the teachers and technicians who make the recital possible and is for everyone who is a part of the music program, even if not performing.

REGISTRATION FEE is $30.00 per student for the year (Maximum of $90 per family). Register at cavod.org.

PAYMENTS: Students pay a set annual amount which reserves their lesson time. Payments can be broken down into equal monthly installments for your convenience. Payments are not calculated per lesson – the annual fee is reserving your time slot in the teacher’s schedule. Therefore, no credits or refunds will be given.

There is a $20 declined card fee for declined cards set to autopay.

YOUR LESSON TIME is reserved for you every week, whether you use it or not. Virtual lessons are an option if the student is not feeling well.

MISSED LESSONS: If the teacher or Cavod must cancel a lesson, a make-up opportunity will be offered. If the student cancels, a maximum of two lessons for the year are eligible for a make-up opportunity dependent on teacher availability. If the student can’t attend the make-up opportunity, the lessons are forfeited. All cancellations must be communicated through the office.

DROPPING LESSONS: If you must drop lessons, a 30-day written notice to info@cavod.org is required. You will still be responsible for payment through the 30-day period if you are paying monthly. No refunds will be given for tuition already paid.

PRACTICE:  Please treat practicing like other homework. Learning new skills is best served through consistency! Remember this is a training process that is built by consistent effort over time. Unprepared lessons cost the same as prepared ones, but their value is substantially compromised.

A well-prepared lesson is a delightful experience!
