Policies


 

POLICIES:

Please try to be prompt whether you are taking online or in-person (hello song is very important for younger children!) 

If taking online, child needs to be accompanied by an adult (for ages 6 and younger) and closeby, if needed, for 7 and older during their weekly lesson or class.

Dress for “moving and dancing!”

Food, toys or other "distractions" often cause problems rather than provide comfort when brought into music class. Since another child might want your child’s drink or stuffed animal, it is often easier to leave those things at home or in the car.

Please notify by emailing me and copying TA&A if you and your child will miss a class. We now charge a flat rate of $100/mos for all group classes and this is a program charge to be paid whether your child attends or does not.  Here are the studio policies:

Musikgarten Group Class Fees

  • Musikgarten classes are a flat rate fee of $100/mth. Most months will have 4 weeks of classes.
  • Monthly Tuition is billed on the 1st of each month. 
  • No tuition credit or refund will be provided for missed lessons.

Musikgarten Curriculum

  • Musikgarten curriculum charges range from $30 - 60 depending on the class. For specific details on your class curriculum costs, please visit the Musikgarten Page. 
  • Curriculum Fees are not included in tuition. 
  • Curriculum Fees must be paid to your Teacher directly. Payment can be made via Venmo or cash. 

Attendance & Make Ups

  • Due to the flat rate pricing of Musikgarten Group Classes, these types of classes are NOT ELIGIBLE FOR a Make-Up Credit. 
  • Consistent weekly attendance is encouraged for all participants. 
  • Each class will have a Make-Up Class Day that can be attended or when possible, students can attend one of the other class times. Students are required to enroll for this class due to capacity limits.
  • Any cancellation made by a Teacher will be issued a Make-Up Credit or by request, an account credit.

Withdrawals from Musikgarten Classes

  • Any Student/Family wishing to discontinue lessons MUST submit a WRITTEN WITHDRAW to the Scheduling Team [scheduling@texasampsandaxes.com]
    • Informing your teacher IS NOT considered a valid cancellation. 
  • Withdraw Notices must be received by the 15th of the month to take effect at the end of the current month. Notices received after the 15th will take effect at the end of the next month. 
    • There are NO EXCEPTIONS.
  • A student may withdraw their cancellation at any time before it takes effect but your teacher and/or time slot can not be guaranteed.

WEATHER:

If public school is closed due to bad weather, we will also be closed. Every attempt will be made to make up missed classes.  If public school is operating on a delayed schedule, we will be open and classes will run on their regular schedule.

OBSERVATIONS:

 Understand that all children learn at different rates and in different ways.  Some children will be quiet in class, others will be active.  Some children will do everything perfectly at home, but not in class.  As a parent, you know that every child is unique, so check your comparisons at the door and let the music work it's magic!
