If necessary, a payment schedule may be arranged. In this case, there will be an additional fee of $10.00.

term of lessons. Refunds for withdrawals will only be granted for the most serious
of reasons, and made at the sole discretion of the program director. Any requests
(especially refund requests) must be submitted in writing to the program
director, and if approved, will take a minimum of four weeks to be processed.
