Attendance

  • Lessons are scheduled on a weekly basis (See "Canceling" below.)
  • Students are expected to attend every lesson, and have their books, instrument(s) and practice log at each lesson.
  • Your pre-payment secures a weekly 30-minute slot.  Students are expected to arrive on time for lessons.  Because someone else has secured the next time slot, students may not stay more than five minutes after their time slot unless prior arrangements have been made.
  • You will be called in the event of a delay or cancellation by Mrs. Leone, and you will either be given your full lesson time, or credited a proportionate amount.

Practicing

  • All students must have daily access to their instrument.  

  • Children taking lessons should be provided 10-20 minutes practice time daily(A metronome and Practice Timer is available on the Fun and Games page of this web site.)  I'll trust the adults to schedule the time for themselves. J

Canceling Lessons

  • 24-hour notice is required for cancellation of lessons or the regular lesson fee will be charged.  Please call ASAP in the event of sudden illness.  You may contact Mrs. Leone by e-mail (lessons@suleone.com) or by calling 919-649-1320

Terminating Lessons

  • Two final lessons are required upon termination of lessons in order to properly transition out of the studio.  If you wish to stop taking lessons immediately, there will be a $60 early termination fee.
