If tuition is paid in cash please enclose the payment in an envelope labeled with the student’s name. ATTENDANCE POLICIES:
Typically student recieves 4 private music lessons in a month -- one lesson each week during the month. However, tuition remains the same regardless of how many lessons a student chooses to attend during the month. A student’s attendance at a weekly lesson is his or her choice. However, missed lessons are not made up or credited. When a student has a conflict with his lesson time, he is encouraged to call another student on the teacher’s schedule and switch lesson times to avoid missing his weekly lesson. Monthly tuition reserves the student’s lesson slot; Jason is not obligated to reschedule a weekly lesson for a different time slot if a student has a scheduling conflict. Lessons missed because of the teacher’s absence will be made up, credited, or refunded. PUNCTUALITY:
Lessons will end at the assigned time, regardless of the student’s punctuality. Jason is not obligated to extend a lesson because of a student’s tardiness. If Jason is late to a lesson, the lesson with be extended, made up, credited, or partially refunded. SCHEDULING:
If no lesson times are available, you may request to be placed on the waiting list for the next available opening. Students may discontinue lessons at any time with a required one-month notice of their leaving. Students who fail to give one month’s notice will not receive a refund for any missed lessons and will be expected to pay for their last month of lessons in full. SCHEDULED STUDIO BREAKS:
The studio will be closed 4 weeks a year for holidays including: 2 weeks for Christmas & New Year’s, 1 week for Spring Break & 1 week for Independance Day. These breaks will correspond with the Levelland Public Schools scheduled breaks. During the months some students will recieve only 3 lessons. Each year some months include 5 weeks rather than 4. During these months students will recieve a 5th lesson for free. Tuition will remain the same during every month regardless of how many lessons a student attends. The schedule is based on a 48 week year (12 months of 4 weeks each) but there are actually 52 weeks in a year. This schedule allows Jason Sain to have consistent income from tuition payments and it allows students to have a consistent tuition payment. Students do not have to pay a higher tuition rate during the longer months. GROUP LESSONS:

But students may sign up to attend group lessons where Jason Sain will cover special topics such as music theory, songwriting, lyric writing, music composition, performance techniques, music history, sound engineering techniques, etc. All classes are included in the price of regular monthly tuition. A student may attend an unlimited amount of group lessons. Students may bring guests to the group lessons free of charge. LESSON LOCATION:

Parents and students are welcome to wait in Jason Sain’s living room before, after and during lessons. However, Jason will not be responsible for the student while waiting for their ride or for walking them to their car. IN-HOME LESSONS:
