Tuition payment procedure:

 30 min $  45 min $   60 min $

Fees for the above rate may be paid directly to your instructor prior to the beginning of each lesson or mailed directly to First Note, Inc. Please make checks payable to First Note, Inc. There will be a $31.00 service charge for all returned checks. If you wish to pay by credit card, you may do so online through our secured website or debited on the 1^st week of each month for the scheduled lessons in that month, until such time that we receive written notice from you to stop. Failure to pay for 2 consecutive lessons will result in a stoppage of lessons until the account is brought current.       

Musical skills are the foundation of hard work and consistent monitoring from an instructor. Since it is our desire that our students gain the greatest possible benefit from their lessons, we suggest the following guidelines:

• The students daily practice time shall be at least one half-hour in length

•  The student is responsible to promptly purchase all materials and music as requested by the teacher

• Lessons should be taken continuously, on a weekly basis, or as mutually agreed upon (If temporary schedule conflicts arise, make-up lessons are required, those make-up days and times may be arranged through your teacher directly)

Lesson Reschedule:
We understand that emergencies* may arise that make it necessary to reschedule your weekly lesson. In the event of accidents, family emergencies, or illness, we ask that you give your teacher as much notice as possible. In other circumstances if you do not contact your teacher 24 hours prior to your lesson to reschedule (within 4 weeks), you will be charged the full lesson rate. There is no charge for teacher cancellations. 
*Emergencies do not include sports events, camps, or other such activities and lack of practice time is considered an unexcused absence. Unexcused absences will not be rescheduled and charged as usual.

The following lesson dates shall be automatically considered canceled without monetary obligation or required make-ups: New Year's Eve, New Years Day, Easter Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day. All other holidays are to be rescheduled.

Termination of Lessons:
If you wish to terminate lessons on a permanent basis, or make a schedule change involving more than 4 weeks, 30 days written notice is required. Once notice is received, you are obligated to complete the scheduled lessons. The student is encouraged to contact Tammy Calderon, the director, with any comments or complaints about the lessons or instructor(s). While it is our hope to provide you a quality, long-term teacher, First Note Inc. does reserve the right to substitute instructors with notice to the student, should it become necessary.

Please be advised that all instruction given by First Note, Inc. is avocational. We offer no degree or diplomas.

The student and/or the students parent or guardian agree not to hold First Note Inc. liable for any injury or accident that occurs involving instructors.

Please note that all instructors have a contract with First Note Inc., which prevents them from conducting lessons independently of our school.. Our ability to continue providing our service to the metro and surrounding areas is absolutely hinged on this principle. You are therefore asked to please refrain from any direct solicitations, and avoid putting yourself or your instructor in an uncomfortable position. This rule applies not only to lessons given during the instructors  tenure with First Note Inc., but also for one full year following the teachers contract expiration date. We appreciate your cooperation in this.

  Good luck and have fun!

The undersigned acknowledges that he/she has read and understood this agreement and agrees to follow its terms.
