In the event of cancellation by the student with 24-hours’ (or more) notice, a make-up lesson will be scheduled. In the event of cancellation by the student with less than 24-hours’ notice, no make-up lesson will be scheduled, nor will any tuition be credited to the next month. In the case of a short notice conflict, you have the option to trade lesson times with another student in the studio. This option will save you from losing a lesson.
