Lesson Policy

When a student undertakes lessons, the student is undertaking a responsibility: a responsibility to show up on time for lessons, to bring all materials, to practice, to pay on time, and to notify Bijan Taghavi of cancellations and postponing of lessons. Students must adhere to the following guidelines below in which contain the Bijan Taghavi Lesson Policy

Missing a Lesson

Consistent attendance is the key to developing any skill, particularly when striving towards one's musical aptitudes, as students are encouraged to attend every lesson in order to achieve their goals of advancing their musical skills.

When you schedule lessons on a regular basis, keep in mind that you are reserving a time slot amidst Bijan's schedule. This time slot is reserved for you and you only, therefore constantly skipping lessons not only disrupts Bijan's schedule, but takes away from someone who was in desire of the given time slot.

If you must miss a lesson due to various circumstances, we ask that you notify Bijan at least 48 hours in advance of the lesson that will be missed. Cancellations within 48 hours of the scheduled lesson time must be billed.

Tardiness

Tardiness to lessons are intolerable. In the event of a late appearance to a lesson, it will be upon the discretion of Bijan how much extra time- if any- will be rewarded to the student as a result of their tardiness. Arriving late to lessons signifies the student disrespecting their time slot, which has been valuably placed within the confines of Bijan's time, and therefore must be prevented.

If you are aware in advance of tardiness to your lesson, a 24-hour notification would nullify the consequences of tardiness. In any other instance, contact Bijan to find out if you are eligible.

Tuition

Payments are due per lesson. Contact Bijan for more information regarding your payment. Lessons will not be given to students who owe for a previous lesson until payment is received. In special circumstances, Bijan may offer various payment plans in the event of financial difficulties.

Rescheduling

Postponed lessons may be rescheduled depending on particular availabilities within Bijan's schedule. Contact Bijan as soon as possible to assure reservation of an available time slot.

Materials

Students are expected to bring the required materials with them every lesson:
