Nadeau Guitars – Guitar Lessons
Lesson Payment & Cancellation Policy - Please READ

Taking music lessons requires a commitment from both student and teacher. I am committed to your
scheduled lesson time each week, in addition to time spent preparing special lesson material for you.
I ask this of you: be on time for your lesson each week and practice your assigned material.
The following policy will help ensure students are not wasting their time or mine.

1.     Advance Payment: Lessons are to be paid for, in advance, in 4 or 5 week cycles. The cost is
$80.00 for 4 weekly lessons. Some months will have 5 lesson dates (Oct. has five Mondays and
Tuesdays)  In this case, pay $100 for 5 weeks in advance for any calendar month containing 5 weekly
lesson dates. A receipt stating lessons paid for and/or lessons owed will be provided with each advance
payment.
2.     Cancellations: Students are asked to give at least 24 hour notice to cancel a scheduled lesson;
except in the case of illness or other last-minute conflict, in which case students are asked to call as soon
as they know they will be missing their scheduled lesson time. If  notice is provided, a make-up lesson will
be scheduled at the earliest possible date (likely the following Saturday). All missed lessons must be
made up within that month or forfeited. Missed lessons will no longer carry over into the next month.
Special exceptions may be made for vacations, or if we are unable to find a mutually convenient date
before month's end, etc. If the student does not show up for the make-up date, student will forfeit that
lesson.
3.     No-shows: If the student misses a lesson without calling (a “no-show”), the student will forfeit that
lesson and no make-up lesson will be scheduled. Any student who misses two consecutive lessons
without calling (either before or after the missed lesson) will be assumed to have quit and will be dropped
from my schedule. I will not be calling you to find out why you didn't show.
4.     Cancellation by teacher: If I need to miss a lesson I will notify you as soon as possible and we will
schedule a make-up lesson. All scheduled lessons cancelled by me will be credited to you and a make-up
lesson time will be scheduled with you.
5. LATE for Lesson: Students more than 5 minutes late for their lesson will not get the full 30 minutes.
Most lessons are scheduled back to back. Your lesson will end when it is time for the next student's
lesson to begin. If your lesson starts late because my schedule is running behind, you WILL get your full
30 minutes.
6.     Refunds: If student decides to quit taking lessons in the middle of a 4-week lesson cycle, all
remaining lessons will be forfeited. No refunds will be given.
7.    Illness: If you are coughing or sneezing or have any illness that may be contagious - PLEASE- DO
NOT come in for your lesson. Especially if it's a cold or flu. We will schedule a makeup lesson for when
you are feeling better.
8.    Snow Days: If school was cancelled, then lessons may be cancelled as well. Students who live in the
nearby neighborhood and can make it here easily may still be able to attend their lesson if they choose.
In the case of a snowstorm, make-up days will be held the following Saturday. Call to confirm your time or
schedule another day/time.

Call 720-277-5336 to re-schedule a lesson. Leave a message if there is no answer.
