TUITION                                                                                             

1. All payments are processed by pre-authorized credit cards or auto draft from checking accounts on the first of the month. Private lessons are billed monthly at $120 per month for weekly 30 minute sessions at our location and $240 for weekly hour sessions. Tuition is never prorated for missed lessons. Tuition includes teaching materials such as books, CDs, and sheet music. Instruments are not included in tuition.

AVERAGE OF FOUR LESSONS PER MONTH

2. We are closed 4 weeks for holidays – New Years, Christmas, and other holidays, depending on when major holidays fall (Fourth of July, etc).  These are noted on the calendar well in advance and students will be notified.   In the long months, you will get five lessons.  In short months, such as November and December, you will get three lessons.  Most months you will get four lessons. The tuition is the SAME each month; i.e. we don’t charge you more when you have five lessons, and we don’t charge you less when you have three lessons in a month. This makes everyone’s accounting easier.

CANCELLATIONS AND MAKEUPS

3. For any lessons missed by a teacher, KCRB will attempt to provide a substitute teacher. If a substitute teacher is unavailable, a private makeup lesson with the teacher will be scheduled promptly. For any lesson missed by a student, KCRB holds one-hour group make up classes once a month, usually the last Friday of the month, between 5:00 and 8:00pm.  Please check our website calendar to confirm dates.  To sign up for a makeup class, sign up on our website at least 24 hours before the make-up lesson you’d like to attend.

DISCONTINUING LESSONS

4. To discontinue lessons and to discontinue charges to your account, fill out the withdrawal form or email us before the 15^th of your last month. We do not prorate tuition for the last month’s lessons. Students will be responsible for their last month’s tuition whether or not they attend lessons.

SUMMER VACATION

5. KCRB operates year round and does not close for the summer. We are happy to offer unlimited makeups for our students, and they are currently held once a month. If you are taking a month off for vacation and want to resume the next month, your payment is still due on the first of the month to reserve your lesson space. The lessons for the month you miss can be made up when you return from vacation.

CARE OF STUDENTS

6. The school is not responsible for providing before or after care for students. Parents with children under the age of eight must remain in the school lobby during the classes. Students are not to be left at the school for excessive time periods before or after their lessons.

OPEN DOOR POLICY

7. Parents are always allowed to sit in on lessons. We have an open door policy for lessons.

INJURIES

8. Parents, legal guardians of minors, students and adult students waive the right to any legal action for any injury sustained on Evangel Church property resulting from normal lesson activity or any other activity conducted by the students or their siblings before, during, or after lesson time, including hearing loss or hearing damage. KC Rock Band & Guitar School of Music is not responsible for any damage done to vehicles or items stolen from vehicles.

PICKING UP

9. Children must wait for their parents to pick them up at Evangel Church. Please do not ask them to meet you elsewhere. KCRB assumes no responsibility for children who leave unaccompanied.
