The Band Shoppe Lesson Policies

• Tuition is $135 per month for 1 half-hour lesson per week.
• Tuition is $270 per month for a 1-hour lesson per week.
• All tuition will be due by the 1st of every month and will be collected via auto pay on the last day of the prior month. Automatic payments will process on the following dates: 1/31, 2/28, 3/31, 4/30, 5/31, 6/30, 7/31, 8/31, 9/30, 10/31, 11/30, 12/31
• Multi Month Discount programs also require a credit card to be kept on file.
• Lessons will be scheduled and start on the hour and a half hour. (i.e 3:00-3:30 or 3:30-4:30). If you show up late, the remaining time of your lesson is guaranteed only to keep our teachers and other students’ schedules punctual.
• Lessons must be canceled 24 hours in advance to be granted a make up lesson.
• Make-up lessons must be used within 30 days of the original missed lesson and are subject to the teacher’s availability.
• If a student “No Shows” to a lesson or cancels the same day of their lesson, NO make-up lessons will be granted.
• In the event an individual student misses a group lesson, no make up lesson or credit will be issued. If a specific class is canceled due to a teacher’s absence or store closure, without the ability for The Band Shoppe to provide a sub or future make up lesson date, a credit will be issued.

• Missed lessons / canceled lessons due to weather-related closures can be made up or credited towards the following month’s tuition. We will follow CCCC for all weather-related closures. Delayed openings CCCC will not constitute canceled lessons.
• If a teacher is absent, a substitute will be provided; if no substitute is available, a credit will be applied towards the following month’s tuition for the number of missed lessons.

• Returned / Declined Payments must be paid within 5 Business days from declined payment or missed payment. If no payment is made, the students lessons will be suspended until the payments are caught up. Lessons will resume once the unpaid balance plus a 5% late fee is paid.
• To discontinue lessons, notification must be made in writing and submitted to the counter staff only. Verbal notices of discontinuing lessons will NOT end enrollment for lessons. Handwritten, emailed, or filled out discontinuation forms are the only acceptable forms of discontinuing notification.
• Unused tuition will be refunded for unused lessons only.
• Unused makeup lessons will be forfeited if the student quits prior to their makeup lesson.
• If a student who’s enrolled in our Multiple Student Discount Program quits, any unused tuition will be automatically applied to any students remaining enrolled in the multi student discount program.
• If a student quits who is a part of the multi-month discount, all unused tuition will be credited back at the lesser of the difference of used tuition. EX If you prepay 12 months and quit after 2 months, the used tuition will default back to the standard rate of $135 per month. You would be credited back $1269. ( $1507 (12mo discounted rate) – $270 (2mo standard rate ) = $1237)
• Enrolled students at The Band Shoppe will receive a 10% discount on all accessories, repairs, maintenance, and maintenance packages.
• Military, First Responders and Teachers will receive a 5% tuition discount. This discount cannot be combined with the multi month or multi student discounts.
