Adams Music Conservatory Policies

  1. Registration Form and Fees
    A non-refundable fee is required at the time of registration. See Schedules & Fees for Prices. A registration form must be completed and signed before any student can begin music lessons. If the student is under 18 years old the form must be sign by a legal guardian.
  2. Tuition
    Tuition is paid monthly and is due before or on the first of each month.
  3. Payment methods
    We accept Cash, Checks and Adams Music Conservatory Gift Cards.
  4. Non-Sufficient Funds
    Checks with non-sufficient funds will be charged a $25 NSF fee.
  5. Late fees
    All payments received after the 5th of the month will incur a $10.00 late charge. If you know you will not be in for lessons before the 5th of the month, please mail payment. If tuition is not paid by the 2nd lesson of each month, a student may be removed from the schedule. To be reinstated, payments must be made in full, including all missed lessons, late fees, and payment for the current month.
  6. Absences
    Unscheduled Absences - if you are absent from a lesson for any reason, please call our front desk as soon as possible. Payment is due for any unscheduled absenteeism. No credits or makeups will be issued.
    Scheduled Absences - if you are aware of any absences please inform the front desk at the beginning of the month. You will be entitled to 4 lessons per calendar year that you are not charged and can be used at your discretion with at least 2 weeks advance notice.
  7. Discontinuing lessons
    Music Lessons are scheduled on a monthly basis. If you wish to discontinue lessons you may do so at any time. Once lessons are discontinued, remaining tuition/fees will not be reimbursed. Please give notice to your teacher or front desk staff if you should need to end your lessons to avoid any additional tuition fees being charged to you.
  8. Holidays
    If your lesson is scheduled on a holiday that is observed by Adams Music Conservatory, there will be no charge for that lesson. Recognized holidays are: New Years Day, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and New Years Eve. A full calendar of holidays and vacation time will be given to you at the time of sign-up and at the beginning of every school year.
  9. Inclement Weather
    If a lesson is canceled due to bad weather, Adams Music Conservatory will notify you. If you have not been contacted before you leave home for your lesson, please call ahead to make sure lessons have not been canceled. You will receive a credit to your account if we cancel lessons.
  10. Teacher Substitutions
    The school reserves the right to provide a qualified substitute teacher if the regularly scheduled teacher is ill or otherwise unable to teach classes. If a teacher is unavailable and the school can not arrange a substitute, any missed lesson will be credited. You will not receive credit if you choose not to be present for a substitute teacher.
  11. Care of Students
    Adams Music Conservatory is not responsible for providing supervision or care for students before or after lessons/class. Parents with students under the age of 5 are asked to remain in the school during lessons. Damage to Adams Music Conservatory property, inappropriate behavior/language or theft will not be tolerated.
  12. Gift Certificates
    Gift cards may be purchased and redeemed for payment of music lessons. When lessons are scheduled and a gift card is used as payment, all terms and conditions of our Policies and Procedures apply.
