Image & Audio/Video Recording Waiver

At the Academy we host an annual picture day that is very popular with our parents. A photographer visits the school and takes pictures of the students and parents get to order copies. We also videotape and photograph recitals occasionally. In our monthly newsletter we feature students of the month, videotape student performances for YouTube and our website.

​

If you would like for you or your child to participate in student of the month, picture day, recitals, or our newsletter, please answer "Yes" on this image and video/audio recording waiver.

Policies & Procedures

TUITION
1. All payments are due on the first of the month. Lessons are $120 per month for weekly 30-minute sessions at our location. Tuition is never prorated for missed lessons. Tuition does not include any retail teaching materials such as books or instruments.
CANCELLATIONS AND MAKEUPS 
2. For any lessons missed by a teacher, the Academy will attempt to provide a substitute teacher. If a substitute teacher is unavailable, a private makeup lesson with the teacher will be scheduled promptly. In the event of school closing due to severe weather, we will reschedule private lessons during a holiday break. For any lesson missed by a student, the Academy holds one hour group make up classes on SCHEDULED weekends. The classes are age and level appropriate and are held between the hours of 10 am and 6 pm. To sign up for a makeup class, contact the office and not the instructor for a date and time. If the student does not have an instrument at home to use during the lesson, the lesson must be rescheduled for a group makeup class at the Academy.

No-shows and cancellations will still be charged. There are no make-up lessons for no-shows. If an
approved make-up lesson is scheduled and student cancels that make up, there will be no make-up for that
make-up. (I DO NOT MAKE UP MAKE UPS). CREDITS FOR MISSED LESSONS WILL NOT BE GIVEN.
DISCONTINUING LESSONS 
3. Every student here is on a month-to-month basis. To discontinue lessons and to discontinue charges
to your account, fill out the withdrawal form before the 15th 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.
AVERAGE OF FOUR LESSONS PER MONTH 
4. Monthly tuition is based on a 48-week year. We are closed for four weeks for holidays. In the long months, you will get five months, short months such as November and December, you will get three lessons, and 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.
SUMMER VACATION 
5. The Clarksville Music and Arts Academy operates year-round and does not close for the summer. We are happy to offer  makeups for our students, and they are held on scheduled Saturdays.  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 school 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. The Clarksville Music and Arts Academy 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 inside the Academy. Please do not ask them to meet you elsewhere. Students are not to be dropped off on the street or curb. The Academy assumes no responsibility for children who leave unaccompanied.
Recitals/Activities
10. All students are encouraged to participate in our recitals.

Vocal Students - At the end of the year students are required to have a song prepared to sing with a track to participate in the annual recital. 


If you have any questions or concerns, we will be happy to discuss them with you. We look forward to celebrating with you in the future musical success of the student. Failure by the program to enforce one or more terms of the policy does not waive the right of the program to enforce any other terms of the policy.

EXTRA NOTES:
11. Regular attendance is critical to the success of lessons. Please plan to attend all lessons and arrive on time and prepared.

 

We will not be able to assist student if he/she forgets to bring their music to class. Searching for extra copies of “forgotten” music takes time away from class time.

Your child’s safety is of the utmost importance. If you choose to leave the premise during your child’s lesson, please be sure to return on time.

 

Students are required to practice 20 to 30 minutes a day. They are always assigned homework to take home. If they don’t return to the next lesson with homework done, they will have to do their homework during our lesson time. The lesson time is designed for “hands-on training” and not homework time. Homework is crucial in that is helps the student to understand the lesson.

 

The teacher retains the right to dismiss any student who is uncooperative during the lesson time or who refuses to practice as requested on a regular basis. Students may be dismissed due to the refusal of parents / student to follow studio policy.
 

Students arriving late for lessons will receive the balance of their time, as any other arrangement works a great hardship on all pupils who follow. Pupils should arrive five (5) minutes before their scheduled lesson
