Welcome to Musicogroove.com, where we are dedicated to providing top-quality music education in Orange County, CA. Our school policy is designed to create a safe, respectful, and effective learning environment for all students while protecting our instructors and school from potential legal issues, financial disputes, and other challenges. Please review the following policies carefully, as they outline the expectations and responsibilities of both the school and our students.
1. General Overview
Musicogroove.com is committed to fostering a positive and productive atmosphere for music education. To ensure that all participants benefit fully from their lessons, we have established the following policies. By enrolling in our music programs, students (or their guardians) agree to adhere to these guidelines.
2. Attendance and Punctuality
2.1 Lesson Punctuality
Punctuality is essential for maximizing the learning experience. Lessons begin promptly at the scheduled time. If a student arrives more than 15 minutes late, the lesson will be considered complete, and no make-up lesson or refund will be provided. This policy ensures that the instructor’s time is respected and that subsequent lessons for other students are not delayed.
2.2 Cancellations and Make-Up Lessons
Cancellation Notice: Students must provide at least 24 hours’ notice if they need to cancel a lesson. Cancellations made with sufficient notice may be rescheduled based on the instructor’s availability.
Make-Up Lessons: Make-up lessons are offered as a courtesy and are available only at the end of the month. All make-up lessons will be conducted online via Zoom or another approved platform. This policy ensures that both the student and instructor can plan accordingly and maintain a consistent lesson schedule throughout the month.
2.3 Emergency Cancellations
In the event of an emergency, one short-notice cancellation per semester will be allowed. The lesson may be rescheduled based on the instructor’s availability, but the rescheduling must occur within the current month.
3. Student Behavior and Conduct
3.1 Respectful Behavior
Students are expected to behave respectfully toward their instructors and peers. Disruptive behavior, including but not limited to talking back, not following instructions, or being physically aggressive, will not be tolerated. If a student misbehaves during a lesson, the instructor has the right to terminate the lesson immediately. The lesson will be considered complete, and no make-up lesson or refund will be offered.
