Annual Music Tuition Agreement

This agreement sets out the terms of ongoing music tuition between the music school or teacher ("Studio") and the student, or the parent/guardian of a minor student ("Student"). It becomes effective only when BOTH parties have signed below. The Studio drafts and signs first, then shares this document with the Student for review and countersignature — either in-app, or by printing, signing, and uploading a scanned copy.

I have read and agree to the lesson schedule and scope in this section.

Section 3 — Tuition Fees & Payment

Fees are payable in advance of each billing cycle and are due by the date shown on the invoice. Tuition reserves the teacher's time and is payable whether or not every lesson in the cycle is used, subject to the cancellation terms in Section 4.

I have read and agree to the fee and payment terms in this section.

Section 4 — Attendance, Cancellations & Make-Ups

Lessons cancelled by the Student with at least 24 hours' notice may be rescheduled subject to teacher availability. Lessons missed without notice, or cancelled late, are forfeited and not refunded. Make-up lessons, where offered, must be used within the same term and do not carry over.

I understand the attendance, cancellation, and make-up policy.

Section 5 — Instruments, Materials & Practice

The Student is responsible for having a suitable instrument and any assigned method books available for practice. Books and materials are billed separately unless included above. Consistent home practice between lessons is expected for the Student to make good progress.

I have read and agree to the instrument, materials, and practice expectations in this section.

Section 6 — Media, Recitals & Consent

The Studio may hold recitals and record performances for teaching and promotional use. Consent to photography or recording of the Student is optional and may be withdrawn in writing at any time.

I consent to the Studio photographing or recording the Student for promotional use.

Section 7 — Term, Withdrawal & Renewal

After the initial term, enrollment renews automatically for successive terms of the same length unless either party gives written notice of withdrawal at least 30 days before the current term ends. On withdrawal, the Student pays for all lessons delivered and time reserved through the effective withdrawal date. Prepaid, unused, and non-forfeited lessons are refunded in accordance with the Studio's published policy.

I have read and agree to the term, withdrawal, and renewal terms in this section.
