Lessons Policies

• All lessons are broken into 4 lesson blocks. We have 48 teaching weeks and 4/5 off weeks. You are only charged for 48 lessons per year, you are NOT charged for the 4/5 off weeks. Some months technically have 5 lessons and some months may only have 3 but with this system you just always pay for 4 lessons at a time. 
• In the event you start mid-month for paid lessons, your first month will be prorated to get you in sync with payweeks. 
• All lesson payments are due no later than the 17th of each month. If it is later than the 20th there will be a $10 late fee. 
• If a student no calls no shows for a lesson, they will be charged. NO EXCUSES! NO TOLERANCE! If your teachers was at the studio waiting for you and you did not contact them or show then you are obligated to pay. 
• If a student is more than a month behind on payments the instructor will refuse the lesson until the student is paid up including late fees. 
• If you are planning on discontinuing lessons, temporarily or permanently, please give your teacher at minimum a two week notice.
• For payment we take cash, check, credit card, paypal, cash app, venmo and apple pay. 
• Anyone with an auto billing invoice will have a $5 surcharge on top of the regular lesson fees. 
• Billing will generally take place the first week of the pay block. If you do not receive an invoice by the 10th please contact us. 

We are a very flexible company and want to work with you, but we want to post our policies for everyone to have easy access to. By coming to PML you are agreeing to our easy to understand rules and we are going to prioritize your learning with a lot of dedication and fun!  Please direct all questions to James at portagemusiclessons@gmail.com.
