          ROSEMOUNT MUSIC STUDIO POLICY

RMA Music Studio strives to provide quality music lessons by integrating various teaching methods, activities, and technology. Students will receive private and group lessons and be given multiple performance opportunities throughout the year. The following explains how RMA Music Studio runs and what is expected of students. RMA's teaching philosophy centers on creating dedicated music students and the studio policies reflect the concept. For this reason, all students and parents must understand and abide by the studio policies as outline below.

REGISTRATION

Rosemount Music Academy accepts music students of all ages and abilities based on availability year-round. New students may register online, by phone at 2024606219/3012565866, or in person at the academy. The annual registration fee is charged at enrollment for new students and returning students. The annual registration fee reserves your weekly time slots, and it covers your assignment notebooks, music lesson books, recital fees, and the costs associated with the registration process. Registration fees are non- refundable.

PAYMENTS

Lesson payment is made in advance. These are flat monthly fees to reserve your child's weekly time for lessons, whether you choose to attend or miss them. The number of lessons billed is based solely on the number of lessons for your given day in each month (most months have four (4) or five (5) lessons, and on rare occasions, three (3) lessons when in observance of a major national holiday. Payment should be made on the 1st day of the month. If payment is not received before the 10th day of the month, a $20.00 late fee will be incurred, and lessons will be suspended until payment is made.  RMA accepts checks, cash, credit card Visa/Master Card, American Express, and Discover. An active credit card is required at the time of registration.

DELINQUENT ACCOUNTS

Rosemount Music Academy reserves the right to stop a student's instructional activities if there is an unpaid account balance.

DISMISSAL

RMA reserves the right to dismiss any student due to frequent absences, disciplinary problems, overdue tuition payments, and/or parental noncompliance with Rosemount Music Academy policies.

Two Weeks' Notice of Cancellation: Students wishing to discontinue lessons must give the studio a minimum notice of TWO WEEKS.

ATTENDANCE, LATE PICKUP, MISSED LESSON & "MAKE UPS"

• Students should arrive promptly for their lesson with all books and materials. Parents are expected to pick up their children after their lessons. After the first 5 minutes, parents will be charged $1.00 a minute.
• Lesson time cannot be extended due to late arrival.
• Lesson payment is due regardless of missed lessons. If the instructor is absent, a substitute may replace the instructor for that week. There are no credits for lessons missed if the substitute has been provided.
• If a lesson must be canceled for some reason, please notify the studio 24 hours in advance to be considered for courtesy makeup lessons. If the parent didn't call or email in advance, it is considered a missed lesson, and no courtesy make up lesson will be offered.
• Please note that any canceled make up lesson will be considered redeemed. In other words, you cannot make up a make-up lesson.
• To discuss student progress,  parents are welcome to talk with the teacher during the first five minutes of the student's lesson-but not afterward, to respect the next student's time slot.

SUPPLIES

All instrumental music students must have an instrument on which to practice regularly.

PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT

Parental involvement is crucial to the success of each student. The assignment notebook is our weekly communication about expectations, assignments, scheduling reminders, and progress.  Parents are also encouraged to attend and quietly observe lessons once a month.
