Dutille Piano Studio Policy
- Student Arrival
- Please arrive five (5) minutes before scheduled lesson. Ring the door bell and come in. If another student is still playing, please wait in the foyer until they finish. Place boots/shoes on mat and wash hands in bathroom. Do not enter non-studio areas of the home.
- Tuition & Payment
- Piano instruction is $40 per hour; $30 per 45 minutes, and $20 per half hour. Checks made payable to Dutille Piano Studio are due at the time of instruction each week. Non-payment will result in late fees (10% of unpaid amount) and/or cancellation of future lessons.
- Missed Lessons
- Please call at least 24 hours in advance to cancel a lesson.
Plan ahead with the studio if going on vacation. Closings and vacation times will be posted online and in the studio. Generally, when schools are
closed [with the exception of summer break], the studio will
also be closed.
If a lesson is missed without prior notification, there will be a “no show” fee equal to the lesson fee. Each student has one free "no show" before fees occur. This fee is due with the regular lesson fee at the next lesson. - Studio Visitors
- Parents are welcome to attend lessons as are siblings with
consecutive lessons. People not involved in lessons are asked to be quiet, non-disruptive and in the studio area (please do not enter other areas of the home).
Property damages resulting from “playing” with studio objects will result in item repair/replacement fees. Students are welcome to check the lost and found drawer as needed. - Calling the Studio
- During lessons the phone is answered by machine. If calling to reschedule, cancel or notify of being late, please DO leave a message. If a student misses the lesson, messages are considered before a “no show” fee is charged. The studio does NOT make reminder calls or inquiries to locate students who have missed lessons.
