• A 10% late fee will be charged to your account 7 days after the due date. If your total tuition is not paid before the second lesson after the due date, lessons will be discontinued and all administration fees and deposit lessons will be forfeited. 

Summer Session 

• Summer lessons are given from mid-June to mid-August. Payments are made in full on the first summer lesson date since it is only up to eight weeks. Students have the option to choose and are responsible to inform Joy Music Studio of the day(s) the student will be unavailable for lessons before the summer session begins. 

Absences & Makeups (effective April 2009)

• All music lessons must be paid for.
• In the event of an absence, notify Joy Music Studio with at least a 24-hour advance notice or as soon as possible.
• If absence is due to illness, a required school or religious activity, or a family emergency, the lesson will be made-up. Music lessons missed for any other reasons will be charged and forfeited. However, only up to four makeups will be given per each music school year and a substitute instructor may be utilized. More than four absences per music school year will be charged and forfeited owing to the time and preparation commitment unless it is initiated by the teacher. Accommodations cannot be made for more than four makeup lessons per music school year unless initiated by the instructor. A makeup for a makeup will not be given. A substitute teacher may be utilized as needed.
• Makeup lessons cannot be rescheduled or carried over to the next session. 

Refer a friend and receive TWO FREE HALF HOUR LESSONS during the summer once your friend registers and completes a music school year (valid only during that referred music school year).
