Prelude Music Studio Policies and Registration Agreement
Welcome to our studio. We are passionate in our commitment to bringing music into the lives of every child. Our Mission is to provide your family with a class or lesson that promotes Joy, Safety, and Value.
------ KINDERMUSIK CLASSES ------
ATTENDANCE:
- Regular attendance is important to a child’s sense of security. It is important that you make every effort to attend each class on a regular basis. When you pay your tuition, an instructor is assigned for a specific time each week. Your place in the class is exclusively reserved for you; therefore, there are no refunds or credits for classes missed due to student absence (including student illness or personal obligations).
- You may schedule a make-up in any age-appropriate class during the session you are registered for by accessing your account at my.kindermusik.com and selecting make ups from the dropdown menu.
- If you miss a Playdate, you may reschedule by notifying us at least 24 hours in advance.
- If you will be absent, please extend a courtesy call to your teacher. If possible, a 24-hour notice is greatly appreciated. If for any reason your instructor must cancel a class session, the time will either be made up or a credit will be issued to be applied to your next tuition payment.
TUITION PAYMENT:
- All tuition fees for classes are due upon enrollment. Fees for online registrations will be posted automatically and charged to the credit card provided on the registration form.
- Missed classes are neither prorated nor refundable. If, after four weeks, you find that your child isn't making the progress you'd hoped for, don't worry. We'll unenroll you and cancel any further payments. For semester-based classes, we'll issue a credit for the remaining sessions, ensuring you can join us again when the time is right.
------ PRIVATE LESSONS ------

- Regular attendance and consistent practice are essential for musical progress. Your scheduled lesson time is exclusively reserved for you, and it is important to make every effort to attend each lesson on a regular basis.
