Policies:

-Until further notice, kn95 or surgical masks must be worn at all times in the studio.

-Please do not come to your lesson if you are not feeling well.

-I teach children 3 to 19 years old, about 30 lessons per year.  

-I bill by semester. Families can pay in installments or all at once.

-The September bill will include a recital fee (about $20).

-The studio calendar is posted on this website. http://elizabethhaymaker.com/calendar-fall-2013/

-There are occasional no-lesson day that are not also holidays. Please add these days with no lessons to your family calendars. Please don’t drop off your child without making sure it is a lesson day.

-All lessons scheduled must be paid for whether or not the student attends.

-If I cancel a lesson I will refund or credit the family’s account.

-If a student cancels an individual lesson because of illness, weather, religious holiday or family emergency, I will make up the lesson. Make up lessons are limited to 1 in the Fall and 2 in the Spring. Make up lessons take place in the summer, or if there are unexpected openings in my schedule.

-I usually purchase books and will ask families to reimburse me on the day I hand out the book. 

-All students must have an acoustic or very good weighted key electric piano to practice on.  Please tune your piano 2 times a year.  Practicing on an out of tune piano not ideal for a child’s developing ears.  For their developing technical skills, it is also important that the piano action be in good working order.  

  -All students need to have use of an electronic device so they can access the recordings on this website.

-It is a good idea to have a piano bag for books and the assignment binder.

-Grownups are welcome, but not required to attend their child’s lesson. Lessons go smoothly when the child's grownups save their questions or comments for the beginning or the end of the lesson time.
