LaRae Music Academy LLC recommends weekly lessons for every student they provide music education. It is essential for students and parents to be committed to classes in order for the student to be achieve the highest potential level on their instrument.

Under certain circumstances LaRae Music Academy LLC understands that lessons may need to be missed. However, we require a 24 hour notice of missed lessons and will provide make up lessons at the discretion and availability of the teacher. If less notice is given, provision of a makeup lesson will be done only with an acceptable excuse from the client (e.g. medical emergency or illness).  Makeup lessons are limited to two in any given semester. No refunds for missed lessons will be issued.  For lessons at the home of the student, makeup lessons will be offered for the student to travel to the studio or the missed lesson time will be added on to future lessons. For lessons in the studio the individual teacher will arrange a make up time with the student or the student may contact another student to trade time slots. Notice of any traded time must be given to the teacher 24 hours before the scheduled lesson.

Because of the limited availability of our teachers, we ask that all students make a one semester commitment to lessons. Any student wishing to discontinue classes in the middle of the Fall or Spring semesters will be charged a fee of $150.
