Studio Policies
Studio Policies
Plain words, so everybody understands it. This is how the studio runs.
Cancellations
- Give 24 hours' notice to cancel and qualify for a makeup.
- Up to 2 makeups per semester, used within the semester (makeup week is at the end).
- Less than 24 hours' notice or a no-show means the lesson is charged, with no makeup.
- If the teacher cancels a lesson, it's always made up or credited.
Discontinuing
- 30 days' written notice is needed to stop lessons.
- Tuition is non-refundable.
Recitals
- Every student performs at the end-of-semester recital.
- For young students, performing is part of the program. For adults, it's optional.
- There are 2 major recitals a year — the first in May 2027, the second in December 2027.
Dress code for performances
- Dressy — dresses, or dress pants with a nice top.
- No jeans, no sneakers, no logos or athletic wear.
Practice
- Students practice the one clear thing assigned each week.
Standards
- Students take feedback, show up on time, and take their singing seriously.
- A student who consistently doesn't practice or doesn't take it seriously may be asked to leave the studio, with 30 days' notice.
Adults
- À la carte fits best.
- Flexible scheduling.
- Performing is optional, never required.
- Zero judgment. Songs you love.
Media
- Lessons and recitals are sometimes recorded so students can hear their own progress.
- Recordings and photos may be shared on Dreamhouse Music Studios' social media and website, with permission.
