Policies

 
Registration Contact the Coordinator. Complete a registration form and enrollment agreement, and submit them with the first installment of tuition on or before the registration deadline. 
When a student is enrolled, he/she is committing to an entire semester of study.
Lessons & Scheduling To provide consistency and atmosphere conducive to learning, all Academy lessons are taught at PFUMC, Plymouth, MI. No exceptions. During the enrollment process, each student or parent of the student will then be contacted to confirm a convenient lesson or class time. Once a lesson time is established, it is important that the student continue through the semester with the time.
Make up We consider your private lesson time as a standing appointment. If the teacher has to miss a lesson it will be made up. Prior notice is required for a student to miss a lesson and the teacher will make up ONE lesson per student per semester.
Instrument A student should be able to practice on an instrument that facilitates progress. Guitars and violins should be fitted to the individual and may need upgrading as the child grows. Piano students may begin on a keyboard for one semester only. After that time, having an acoustic piano is imperative, or the student's technique will suffer, and precious instructional time will be lost.
Recitals Each student is required to perform in a recital involving all of our students at the end of each semester. It is important for students to hear other students play/sing, and there is great value in students' performing in public. Adult students are invited, but not required to perform on recitals, and other students may be excused at the discretion of the teacher.
