A word about attendance:
*Group classes:
Regular attendance is very beneficial for the growth of your child and the well-being of the entire group. I hope you will prioritize being there! ;) Unfortunately, I am unable to make up or refund group classes if you are absent.
**Private lessons:
Private lessons, which are one-on-one, are an important commitment between teacher and student. As an active performer (and mom), I occasionally have to reschedule or cancel lessons, but there are benefits to having a teacher that also performs. ;) I understand that life happens for everyone, and ask that you are mindful and respectful when you consider cancelling or asking for a reschedule as there is only one of me and many of you. Thank you so very much!!!
