Fee Policies:

• All lesson fees are due on the first scheduled lesson day of each calendar month.
• Fees may be paid by cash, check, or Zelle to Wilma Zalabak.
• Students may be refused service if lesson fees are not paid by the second week of the calendar month.
• Partial lesson payments are not accepted. (Pro-rating is possible for the initial month.)
• There is no plan for regularly taking only a portion of the lessons per month. This is not recommended.
• A $10.00 late fee will be assessed to any account with a balance after the 15th of the month.

Books:

Books for Beginners may cost $20 to $35 for each child. Transfer students should bring all their current and immediately past books to the first lesson and expect to buy books also. Most of the required curriculum books after the initial investment, I provide. Whenever I feel it would be helpful for the parents to buy another book, I discuss the plan with the parents before purchasing. Some thin books I provide at no cost, with the simple request that you return them if you see them lying around after your child is finished with them. I recycle these.  As the student progresses, you should expect to spend more on books and supplies.

Make-Up Policies:

• If a student must miss a regularly scheduled lesson, he or she will be eligible for a make-up lesson only if the following procedures are observed:
• Day, time, method, and even whether or not the make-up lesson will be given is entirely at the discretion of the instructor, and may actually be impossible because of schedule issues.
• At least 24 hours' advance notice of the absence is provided to the instructor.
• A valid reason for the cancellation is provided (illness, death in family, etc.).
• All make-ups must be taken within one month of the missed lesson date or the lesson is forfeited.
• The instructor reserves the right to refuse all make-ups to students with excessive ineligible absences.

Associate:

I have more than twenty year's experience and can provide some extra opportunities. Because of the demand, I associate with myself a beginning teacher. Her fees are different from mine, and parents pay her directly. Her other policies are the same as mine. She is intuitive, inspiring, and beloved by her students.
