DRUM LESSON PAYMENT POLICY

Payment Policies

Payments for lessons are a pro-rated tuition of $30.00 per half hour lesson, payable whether or not you can attend. If I miss a lesson, a credit will be forwarded to the following month. Payments are due at the first lesson of each month even if you do have credits. Just subtract your credit from the month’s payment. A late fee of $10.00 will be added for each week the tuition is late. You may mail your tuition to the address below if you are unable to pay in person. Please make the checks payable to LIJA Music. I regret that there are no make up time slots available. You may however trade lesson times with other students.

Lesson Procedures

Always bring your note book to each lesson. The minimum daily practice required is whatever is necessary to accomplish your assignment! Please come into the drum room when it is your turn- I don’t always watch my watch. Now that we have the heavy stuff out of the way let’s have fun!

HAPPY DRUMMING!
