Terms & Conditions For Student Lessons

READ THESE TERMS OF USE BEFORE PURCHASING YOUR LESSON
Private Vocal Lessons focus on freeing the natural voice, vocal technique, and performance styles. Our ultimate goal is the ability to express confidently without limitations!

Attendance

Arriving on time is a trademark of a true professional. Be on time, be prepared, and focused. This time is your investment in your goals, and is all about building productive habits. I do not have the flexibility in my schedule to push back time if you are late to your lesson. Minutes late will be deducted from your lesson time.

Payment Policy

In order to take advantage of the bulk lesson savings, you must sign up for the automatic billing service. Your payment information will be securely stored through PayPal. Your credit card will only be charged on the first lesson of the month. Your monthly tuition charge will appear on your billing statement as “Voice lessons.” Once your payment has been completed, you will receive an emailed receipt from PayPal. I encourage each student to enroll in the automatic billing, so they can simply come and enjoy their lessons, without worrying about processing payment each week, or missing a lesson if they forget.

You are welcome to process payment week to week if you choose at the regular rate of $150 / lesson. Your payment must be made 24 hours prior to your scheduled lesson. Once your payment is completed 24 hours in advance, your lesson will be confirmed on the schedule. If payment is not received 24 hours prior to your lesson, your name will not be included on the daily lesson roster. Payments will not be accepted on the day of the lesson. If you choose to pay lesson to lesson, it is your responsibility to remember to process payment. 24 hours prior to your scheduled lesson.

All payments must be processed through www.MadeleineHarvey.com
