Policy Information
Registration:

Missed Lessons and Make-up Lessons:
Lessons missed due to vacation outside of the Chaska Music Studios’ calendar and make-up lessons cancelled or forgotten by the student will not be made up. Lessons missed because of illness or emergency will be made up depending on availability of time in the instructor's schedule, ONLY if the individual Instructor is informed 24 hours in advance. Make-up lessons must be completed in the session in which absences occur. Each student is allowed one make-up lesson per session. Lessons will not be carried over to the next session. In the event that the Instructor is ill, lessons will be made up or amount will be deducted from next payment. Make-up lessons cancelled or forgotten by the student will not be made up.
Care of Students:
Parents with students 5 years and younger are asked to remain in the building during the classes. Students are not to be left alone for excessive time before or after lessons.
