Scheduling & Studio Policies

Everyone

• The trial lesson is $30 for 30 minutes, paid at booking and non-refundable.
• Lesson packages are billed every four weeks and kept current to hold your spot. Cancel before the next cycle to stop billing; the current cycle is non-refundable.
• Taking a break? Let me know before your next cycle and I’ll pause billing for up to one cycle while holding your lesson time. Longer than that, the slot is released and we’ll find a new one when you’re ready.
• Single lessons are paid per session at the time of booking.
• Scheduling changes go through your booking links or email, not day-of texts.
• Private lessons and studio class run hybrid this year, alternating between Zoom and in person. Students bring their own instrument and any assigned materials.
• Unbound Brass may photograph or record lessons and recitals for educational and promotional use. Families who prefer their student not appear may opt out in writing.
• The annual studio recital is optional. Performing families share the venue and accompanist costs, confirmed by two months before the recital, after which each family's share is locked in.
• Reliability matters: a first no-call, no-show earns a direct conversation and forfeits that lesson with no refund; a second releases your spot, with no refund of the current cycle.
• Rare emergencies are handled individually, at the teacher's discretion.

Private Lessons

• Lessons start and end at their scheduled time, whether on Zoom or in person. Arriving late does not extend the lesson.
• Cancel with at least two days notice and you get a Zoom makeup.
• With less than two days notice, or a no-show, the lesson is forfeited with no makeup or refund, barring genuine illness at the teacher's discretion.
• Same-day illness or weather may move an in-person lesson to Zoom at the teacher's discretion.

Studio Class

• The studio class date is announced at the start of each cycle.
• Cancel with at least one week's notice to make it up with one individual lesson, not a three-hour replacement, limited to one studio-class makeup per semester.
• With less than one week's notice, the class is forfeited with no makeup, barring something extreme judged case by case.
• If the teacher cancels a studio class, it is rescheduled for the group, or made up with an individual lesson if it truly cannot be rescheduled.

Booking a lesson means you agree to these policies.
