Monthly tuition is due in advance for the upcoming month and is payable on the 1st of each month.
An invoice will be emailed to you about a week before the due date. Payment can be made online by credit card, or at the studio with cash, card, or check.
If you have any issues with timely payment, please call, text, or email us. Communication is crucial!

Descant Music is closed on Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas, New Year's Eve, and New Year's Day.

If your lesson falls on one of these holidays, you will not be charged, and your invoice will be adjusted.

Same-day cancellations or no-call/no-shows will not be rescheduled, as the teacher is already paid for that time.
With at least 24 hours' notice, we will try to reschedule. If no suitable times are available, the next month's invoice will be prorated. Cancellations with less than 24 hours' notice are treated as same-day cancellations.
Prepaid lessons: tuition already paid is nonrefundable. If lessons are discontinued mid-month, unused lessons remain available until the end of that month.
Vacations: let us know ahead of time. We can try to reschedule or adjust that month's invoice.
Teacher absence: a substitute teacher will be provided or the lesson will be rescheduled. If no suitable times are available, the next month's invoice will be prorated.

Please give as much notice as possible if you need to stop lessons.
Lessons that have been paid for cannot be refunded.
After two weeks of no-call/no-shows, your lesson time will be made available to other students.

Tell us a little about the student and we'll reach out to set up a teacher and a weekly time.
