Azars' Music School Policy and Agreement

Lesson Scheduling and Rates

Tuition fee is paid on monthly basis and lesson fees are due on the 1st day of each month or 48-hours before the students' scheduled lessons, whichever comes first.
Scheduling is offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Your lesson time is confirmed and held once payment is received.
We’re unable to process lesson registrations while any past or current balances remain outstanding.
Payments can be made through monthly pre-authorized Visa/Mastercard credit card payments or by post-dated cheques. A $15 fee will apply for payments made by debit or credit card at the front desk.
If you choose to pay by post-dated cheques, you must provide three (3) post-dated cheques, each dated for the 1st of each month.
If you wish to stop lessons, 30 days’ written notice is required. After the 30-day notice period, any unused (un-deposited) post-dated cheque(s) will be returned to you.
There are no refunds on unused or cancelled lessons.
There will be no refunds or credits for the lessons that are already booked.
Azars' Music School has an annual raise that takes in effect on March 1st.
Lessons at Azars’ Music School are scheduled on a weekly basis, and our standard lesson rate is based on students attending lessons weekly—no drop-ins or single-lesson payments.
If a student is unable to maintain a weekly schedule due to special circumstances, an adjusted lesson plan may be considered with approval from the School Director. If fewer than 4 lessons per month have been approved by the school director, the lesson fee will be $10 higher per lesson (per student) than the standard weekly lesson rate.
Azars’ Music School reserves the right to decline reduced-frequency lesson requests (fewer than 4 lessons per month) based on teacher availability, studio scheduling, and program consistency.
Azars’ Music School charges a $35 annual fee, billed on March 1st each year.

Lessons Cancelation Policy

There will be no refunds or credits for cancellation of lessons. Lessons may be rescheduled with 48 hours’ notice. The notice includes leaving messages on phone, E-mail to [email protected], or text message to (778) 919-2927.
No shows or failure to notify the school within 48 hours is considered a forfeited lesson.
No more than 1 rescheduling with 48-hour notice per month.
If you know of dates ahead of time where you/your child cannot make a lesson, please notify the school when booking/paying for your lessons to coordinate alternative lesson times.
We assume that you will continue your lessons indefinitely. If you decide to stop taking lessons, please provide Azars’ Music School with a written 30-day notice in advance.

Make-up Lessons

Lessons cancelled at least 48 hours ahead of the scheduled lesson will receive a make-up lesson at a time convenient to both the teacher and the student. This makeup lesson will not be skipped over or added to the next month.
Typically, make-up lessons take place at an alternate time/day within the week. In some cases, the make-up lesson will be added after/before the original lesson time, enabling the student to have an hour lesson (depend on the lesson time).
Make-up lessons not used after 4 weeks will be considered forfeited.
A make-up lesson should be booked directly with Azars’ Music school administration.
Azars' Music School reserves the right to substitute the teacher for the make-up lessons without notice.
Azars’ Music School allows a maximum of one (1) make-up lesson per month per student, subject to teacher and studio availability. Any additional missed lessons within the same month may not be eligible for make-up.
Scheduled makeup lessons will be considered completed. (There won't be any re-schedule for Make-up lessons.

Classroom Policy

Students must arrive prepared (books/instrument) and complete regular practice/homework.
Azars’ Music School may substitute teachers; no refunds, credits, transfers, or make-ups will be provided.
Late arrivals won’t receive extended time, and missed minutes cannot be rescheduled.

Group & Semi-Private Lessons Policy

No refunds, transfers, or credits are available for group or semi-private classes once the class is formed.
Missed or cancelled classes are not eligible for make-ups unless the cancellation is made by Azars’ Music School (for reasons other than enrolment); in that case, a group/semi-private make-up class will be provided.
Azars’ Music School reserves the right to cancel group classes with insufficient enrolment

When your teacher cancels

In most cases, when your teacher cannot be here, we will find a suitable substitute teacher and the lesson will continue as regularly scheduled. If your teacher cancels a lesson and we are unable to find a substitute teacher, we will reschedule the lesson and find a time convenient to both the teacher and the student. In case of cancellation we will let you know in 48 hours and in case of illness or emergency 24 hours in advance.

Holidays

Exceptions will be made with respect to STAT holidays, New Year, and Christmas Holidays. Those weeks will be rescheduled by the request of the student or the teacher.
