LeGrand Music Studios

Calendar & Policy

CALENDAR

Our monthly tuition is based on a 47-week teaching year.

The studio is closed during the following weeks:

• The first week of January
• Knox County Schools Spring Break
• A flexible scheduling period during the summer
• Knox County Schools Fall Break
• The last week of December

Most months include four lessons, one lesson per week. December includes three lessons.

January, March, and October contain five calendar weeks. During those months, one week will not be a lesson week.

June and July operate on a flexible schedule. These months are common vacation periods for both students and instructors. Schedules may be adjusted as needed, and lesson durations may occasionally be modified to ensure all contracted instructional hours are fulfilled.

A visual calendar is provided on the following page.

HOLIDAY SCHEDULING

If a lesson falls on Memorial Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, July 4th, or Thanksgiving Day, lessons may be rescheduled when communication is provided at least 36 hours in advance.

Lessons that fall on July 4th or Thanksgiving Day will automatically be rescheduled.

If advance notice is not provided, the lesson will follow the standard missed lesson policy.

The studio remains open during all other holidays unless otherwise announced.

PAYMENT POLICY

We strive to keep payments simple and convenient.

Accepted Payment Methods:

• Automatic bank draft
• Credit or debit card
• Venmo (@LeGrandMusic)
• Check

Tuition is due on the 1st of each month.

A $45 late fee will be applied to accounts with unpaid balances after the 5th of the month.

Historically, we have been flexible with late payments. To maintain fairness and consistency for all families and instructors, this policy will be applied consistently moving forward.

CANCELLATIONS & MAKEUPS

Online Lesson Option

Many lessons do not need to be canceled and can instead be taught online.

If a student is unable to attend in person but is well enough to participate virtually, the lesson may be conducted online at the regularly scheduled time.

If the student is unable to participate either in person or online, the lesson is considered canceled and the following policies apply.

MISSED LESSONS (STUDENT ABSENCE)

If a student misses a lesson for any reason, instructors are not required to provide an individual makeup lesson.

Instead, LeGrand Music Studios offers a monthly one-hour group music class taught by Andy LeGrand. Topics may include:

• Music Theory
• Songwriting
• Composition
• Music History
• Music Appreciation

These classes are held on designated Saturdays at 10:00 AM at the studio.

The monthly group class serves as the makeup option for missed private lessons. Registration information will be provided prior to each class.

GROUP CLASSES

If an individual student misses a regularly scheduled group class, no makeup class will be provided.

If the studio cancels an entire group class, a makeup class will be arranged.

LATE ARRIVALS

Students arriving more than 15 minutes late may have their lesson considered missed.

The instructor will determine whether sufficient lesson time remains to provide meaningful instruction.

INSTRUCTOR CANCELLATIONS

If an instructor cancels a lesson, a makeup lesson will be provided.

The instructor will coordinate the makeup lesson directly with the student or family.

REFUNDS

Refunds are not part of our cancellation or makeup policy.

We understand that life can occasionally become unpredictable, and we are committed to working together to help every student continue progressing in their musical education.

Thank you for choosing LeGrand Music Studios. We are glad you are here.
