Absences and Make-up Lessons
One excused absence per semester is permitted and will be made up for private
lessons only. The Office and teacher must be notified no later than 10:00 a.m.
on the day of the missed lesson, although earlier notification is appreciated.
There are no make-up lessons for classes or ensembles. All teacher absences will
be made up or a refund will be issued.
Make-ups for snow days: ONE snow day per term will
be made up.
Injuries
Please notify the Office immediately of any injuries which might affect lessons.
Withdrawals and Refunds
Pro-rated refunds for private lessons may be requested only within the first three lessons
of the semester. Failure to attend lessons after the third lesson of the
semester without notification does not release students from the obligation to
pay for the semester. Refunds beyond three lessons due to special circumstances
are granted only at the discretion of the Executive Director. There are no
refunds for classes or ensembles after the second class/session.
Tardiness
Because of the faculty’s full schedules, students who are late for a lesson can
not be guaranteed their full lesson time. Faculty will wait ten minutes for a
student; students are asked to do the same. Faculty tardiness will be made up at
a mutually convenient time.
Cancellation of Classes/Ensembles
Brookline Music School reserves the right to cancel any class or ensemble due to
insufficient enrollment.
