Lake Oswego Music Academy Studio Policy and Agreement

Welcome to Lake Oswego Music Academy. The following covers the tuition policy and general rules for enrollment at the school.  Please read and sign and return a copy with your enrollment form.

TUITION AND FEES

Tuition is due and payable in advance and is non-refundable.  Checks should be made out to the individual instructor(not to Lake Oswego Music Academy). Late fees will be charged if tuition is more than two weeks overdue.  A $25.00 registration fee will be charged annually per student to help defray operating expenses.
 
Credit will not be given for missed lessons.  Sudden illness or emergency will be considered the only exceptions.  We request twenty four hour notice for any other rescheduling consideration. 

STUDENT AND PARENT COMMITMENT

Success with applied music study requires a serious commitment on the part of both students and parents.  Daily practice is an absolute given and parental involvement is
required to ensure that a student will have the discipline to succeed.  Parental participation will help your student to gain the sense of accomplishment and achievement that comes with reaching musical goals.

PERFORMANCES

There will be at least one major recital per term for students to participate in.  Additional performance classes also will be held periodically for individual and combined studios.
All of the instructors are members of the Oregon Music Teachers Association and participate in putting students in competitive and non-competitive performance events.
It is important for students to have goals to prepare for in order to improve their musical skills. 

WITHDRAWAL

Lake Oswego Music Academy reserves the right to dismiss any student at any time.
If a student decides to withdraw from the school 30 day advance notice is requested
and tuition cannot be refunded.

ETIQUETTE

Students are asked to arrive on time for lessons.  Other children must not be allowed to be unsupervised on the premises as we are located in a church and must repect their property and policy regarding our use of the facility.

The policy for parent attendance of lessons will be up to the individual instructor.  If there are other siblings in the room who are being disruptive you may be asked to take them elsewhere.    It is important for parents to observe their child’s progress but the instructor also needs to establish a rapport with the student.  Please turn cell phones off and make calls outside of the studio.
If you are dropping your student off please pick them up on time as we cannot be responsible for looking after them once the lesson is over.

By signing this agreement we agree to the terms stated above and agree to hereby release Lake Oswego Music Academy or Lake Oswego Christian Center from any liability. We agree that no lawsuits or complaints will be filed against Lake Oswego Music Academy or Lake Oswego Christian Center for any reason.
