Notes about scheduling a lesson:

  1. BulletCancelations need to be made at least 24 hours in advance. If I do not receive notice by then, I will have set aside time for your lesson. No shows without notice will still be charged at the rate of the lesson.

  2. BulletLessons cannot be made up due to lateness. If a student comes late, they will only be able to use the remaining time of their lesson. If a student is 10 or more minutes late, Miss Caruso is no longer obligated to wait for them.

  3. BulletPayment is due at the time of the lesson. If the parent wishes, a payment plan can be set-up, to be paid at the 1st of the month for the lessons remaining in the month.

  4. BulletLessons cannot be rescheduled. Due to constraints in scheduling, students may only take the slot that they have signed up for. If lesson has been cancelled and your student is on a payment plan, credit can be applied toward the next lesson.
