Punctuality & Attendance:
It is very important for students to arrive on time for their scheduled lessons in studio or be ready for the start of your lesson when Christiana arrives at your location. Lessons are scheduled back to back; therefore, Christiana is unable to run into the next student’s lesson time. Consistent attendance is vital for you to succeed and is essential for vocal and artistry growth. Christiana is passionate and committed to giving high quality vocal instruction and at the same time maintaining a consistent, predictable wage; therefore, Christiana must offer a limited cancellation policy for students.

Attendance, Cancellations and Illness:
- Lessons cancelled on the same day forfeits the lesson fee. NO EXCEPTIONS.
- 48-hour cancellation required to avoid forfeit with the exception of illness where waiving of the fee will be discretionary.
- If you do not show up for any reason, you automatically forfeit that lesson's fee. Additionally, you will be responsible for all collection costs of any unpaid fees, including, mailing notices, court costs and legal fees / expenses.
- With a 48 hour cancellation or a rescheduled notice requested, a make-up lesson will be given as a courtesy.
The make-up lesson must be made up within five (5) days from the original booked lesson date or the lesson fee is forfeit.
- Only one (1) rescheduled lesson request is permitted every eight (8) weeks.
- Rescheduled lessons are issued based on Christiana’s availability.
- Cancelled make-up lessons cannot be rescheduled and you automatically forfeit that lesson's fee.
- If you are unable or cannot reschedule a singing lesson due to your own schedule limitations or conflicts within five (5) days, you forfeit the lesson time & fee.

Commitment to Lessons:
- Christiana cannot guarantee you a time slot if you cannot guarantee consistent attendance.
- Christiana cannot hold time slots for students that 'may or may not' be able to make their lesson.
- Students who are regularly receiving lessons ensure that Christiana has a consistent lesson calendar and full knowledge of available lesson times for new students.

Quitting Lessons/Leaves of Absence:
As a courtesy, Christiana requires two weeks (14 CALENDAR DAYS) if you wish to terminate your lessons or require a leave of absence. You will be considered an active student until Christiana is notified of a change.
