Summer session (July–August) runs on flexible scheduling.
No lessons are held on statutory holidays or listed studio closure dates (see calendar page).
Tuition is due by the 1st of each month (or at the start of the chosen billing cycle).

Accepted payment methods: e-transfer or cash.
Same-week reschedules (if a spot is available) do not count toward the monthly make-up.
Frequent rescheduling is not permitted.
Missed lessons without notice are forfeited.
Arrive 5 minutes before the lesson to ensure lessons begin on time.
Late arrivals cannot extend past the scheduled time.
Parents are welcome to quietly observe if desired.
