Agreement for Drum Lessons - Revised May, 2008

  • Tuition for lessons is $100 per month.  Payment is due on the first scheduled lesson of the month.  If you begin lessons in the middle of the month the charge is $25.00 per lesson.  The student or parent will pay for their own textbooks and learning materials that are required by the instructor.

  • All students must log a minimum of three hours-per-week of practice time. Students who are consistently unable to meet this requirement will not be able to continue with their lessons.

  • There are four half-hour lessons each month, scheduled on the same day at the same time.  If it is a five-week month we’ll take the fifth week off.   Students who haven’t paid by the second lesson of the month will not receive instruction and may lose their time slot.

  • You will not be charged for any lessons canceled by the instructor.

  • If you are absent you will be charged for the lesson. The instructor pays for the use of the rehearsal studio regardless of cancellations and no-shows. Two consecutive absences may result in the forfeiture of your time slot.

  • Make-up lessons due to illness:  If you or your child has a severe illness you must contact John prior to 2:00 p.m. that day to be eligible for a make-up. Call 253-273-3716 to do so. Make-ups are limited to open slots in John's schedule. They are available on a first-come, first served basis.

  • Holidays in which lessons are not held are as follows: Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and the following day, Christmas Day and New Year’s Day. If your lesson falls on one of these holidays and you will not receive four lessons that month as a result, you will be credited $25.00.

  • Vacations:  During the months of June, July and August a customer can utilize up to four vacation days away from drum lessons.  Requests can be made by eMail, phone or in person and they must be at least two weeks prior to the date(s) you'll be absent in order to receive credit. Vacations of more than two consecutive weeks require a $50 deposit good towards the first two lessons upon your return.  Your timeslot cannot be guaranteed for vacations lasting more than two weeks.

  • Termination: Two week’s notice must be given when terminating lessons or you will be charged. If a student is under 18 years of age, termination notice must be given by a parent or guardian. Lessons may be terminated by the instructor or parent/guardian for any reason.
