MISSED LESSONS
There are no make-up lessons for missed lessons, except for the following reasons:
*Official closings during inclement weather will be communicated by electronic mail. Lessons cancelled by Bryant's Music due to inclement weather will be rescheduled.
PIANO LESSON EXCHANGE
Students that are unable to attend a lesson due to illness, family and/or personal emergency, other activities, vacation, or traffic congestion may swap a lesson with another student by contacting that individual directly. Please notify the Studio if you make a swap. The piano swap list is available upon request.
LESSON SCHEDULE CHANGE
If you wish to change your scheduled lesson day and/or time, you may submit a written request to the Studio Director at any time. A list of available piano slots will be provided for your consideration.
TEACHING SCHEDULE
The studio provides piano instruction year-round with closings during Federal Holidays and approximately three (3) weeks vacation during the summer months of June through August and one week in December of each year. Advance written notice will be given to all students.
WITHDRAWAL FROM LESSONS
Keep in mind that fluctuations in interest are perfectly normal and should not signal an end to your musical training. Please consult your teacher before making any decisions about lesson termination.
If you decide to withdraw from lessons after consultation with your instructor, a two week notice, in writing, to the Studio Director is required. Your last two weeks of lessons must be paid whether you attend or not. Failure to give a two week notice will result in being billed for the entire month.
OBSERVATION OF LESSONS
Bryant's Music has an open door policy for observing lessons. Parents are encouraged and welcome to observe his/her child's lesson at anytime. However, in order to have the student's undivided attention, siblings and friends must remain in the lounge area under the supervision of an adult.
OFFICE HOURS
The instructors will be unable to discuss student progress with parents before or after the lesson since other students have lessons at those times. Parents should sit in on your child's lesson, call the Studio or schedule an appointment with the instructor, if you have concerns or questions. The best time to call the Studio is Monday-Friday in the morning at 301-203-8207. E-mail messages (bryantsmusic@yahoo.com) are encouraged.
TIMELINESS
Students are expected to be on time for lessons as well as be picked up on time according to the agreed upon scheduled lesson time.
CHILD SAFETY
To ensure your child’s safety, please be sure to pick him/her up promptly after lesson time. Bryant’s Music instructors do not supervise children waiting before and/or after lessons. Children are under supervision during their instruction time. Bryant’s Music instructors are not responsible for supervising children outside of the teaching time.
PARKING
Ample parking is available on the street directly in front of the Studio. Please do not park, drop-off, or pick-up students in the driveway.
