Policies And Procedures
Payment and Tuition
All payments are processed electronically by pre-authorized credit cards or bank account on Monday mornings. Tuition is not prorated for missed lessons.
Registration Fee
Students who are starting are subject to a one time registration fee upon enrollment. The student will not have to pay this fee again unless they cancel their recurring lessons and re-enroll at a later date.
Cancelation and Makeups
For any lessons missed by the teacher, Milwaukee Music Lessons (MML) will attempt to provide a substitute teacher. If a substitute teacher is unavailable, a private makeup lesson with the teacher will be scheduled promptly. If that is not possible, Milwaukee Music Lessons will carry over the lesson into the next week.
For any lesson missed by a student, MML offers one hour group make up classes. The classes are age and level appropriate and are held at various times throughout the week. To sign up for a makeup lesson, contact the office and not the instructor for a date and time. Students can hold on to makeup credits for 120 days and can store up to four of them at a time.
Students may request a recorded video lesson in place of the in person lesson. Video lesson requests are accepted or denied at the discretion of the teacher.
Students can also gift their in person lesson to another student, friend, or family member. This lesson must take place during the original time slot and must be made with the same teacher and instrument.
Discontinuing Lessons
To discontinue lessons and to discontinue charges to your account, you must contact the office seven days before your last lesson and fill out the ‘Cancelation Form’ either in person or online. We do not prorate your final weeks lesson based on make up credits stored.
Minimum Lesson Requirements
Students are allowed to take off one week per month for lessons in which they don’t get charged. If a student takes off multiple weeks in a month, they will be charged for the additional weeks.
We at MML take the following holidays off: Christmas, Thanksgiving, Labor Day, and Memorial Day. Some holidays include additional days off. We will notify students of what additional days we take off.
Summer Vacation
MML operates year round and does not close for summer. We are happy to offer unlimited makeups for our students. If you are taking a month off for vacation and want to resume the next month, your payment is still due each week in order to reserve your lesson space. The lessons for the month you miss can be made up when you return from vacation.
Snow Days
MML holds the right to call off in person lessons due to inclement weather for the safety of our students and our teachers. If MML calls off school, then our teachers will offer makeups via the options offered in the ‘Cancelation and Makeups’ section or through a private makeup within seven days of the original lesson.
