Frequently Asked Questions
How do I sign up?

What about months that have 5 weeks on the day of my lesson?
We've got you covered. The automatic billing system will account for months that have a 5th lesson in them and charge an extra $25.00 accordingly. Please note that depending on the day of your lesson, there will only be a few of these months each year. If there is a holiday where the store is closed, you will not be charged the extra amount. For example, if your lesson is on a Monday and there are 5 Mondays in September, but one of them is Labor Day, you will only be charged $100.00 for four lessons.
