Scheduling

Flexibility

Once your regular monthly schedule is in place, you may move any private lesson that you are unable to attend. Can't make it next week? No problem. You can cancel or reschedule your lesson up to 12 hours before at any time using our iOS/Android app.

Cancelled lessons are banked in your account as makeup credits and never expire for the duration of your membership.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I sign up?
Stop by the front desk or ask your instructor to get you setup online and/or in the app.

Can I take a trial lesson before committing to a monthly membership?
Sure! Single lessons are available for $35.00 and payment must be made at the time of scheduling. If you choose to continue, the remainder of the month will be prorated as if you were paying the monthly membership rate. This way, you will only pay for the regular rate for the trial lesson.

Can Marich Music gift cards be used for lesson memberships? Can Grandma/Grandpa/Aunt Sue purchase lessons for my child?
Yes! Gift givers can purchase a gift card in any denomination that can be applied to lesson membership, additional lesson/recital/ensemble group credits, store merchandise, or repairs. The only thing we can’t accept a gift card for is instrument rental. Be sure to add us to your Christmas/Birthday wish list!

What if I need to cancel a lesson?
Easily cancel lessons online or in the app with 12 hours notice for no charge using your student/parent portal. You will receive a lesson credit you can use for a makeup lesson, recital, or group class at any time for as long as you maintain your membership.

What if my child is sick and I have to cancel at the last minute?
We have to pay our instructors for their time when lessons are cancelled with less than 12 hours notice, so we are unable to offer credits for last minute cancellations. However, you can use past lesson credits or buy extra lesson credits to use for a makeup. Additionally, the instructor will record lesson material and practice assignments and post to your student’s account to continue progress when you can’t be at the store for lessons.

What if I go on vacation?
Enjoy your vacation! Be sure to use your student/parent portal to cancel the lessons you are not able to attend. You will have an unused credits from the week(s) you are gone to use for a makeup
lesson, recital, or group class at any time for as long as you maintain your membership.

What if the instructor needs to cancel a lesson?
If the instructor has to cancel a scheduled lesson, you will receive 1 credit good for the life of your membership. You can use it to reschedule with the same or another instructor, or use it to participate in an ensemble or recital. No refunds are given for cancelled lessons.

What if my child(ren) take more than one lesson per week?
Additional lesson plans are treated the same as the sibling discount and will enjoy a 5% discount

When will my child get to perform?
Recitals will be scheduled throughout the year at various venues. Optional participation costs one lesson credit per student. You can use credits from missed lessons or purchase credits starting at $25 each.

Why do I need an app?
The optional phone app will serve as a reminder for your child’s practice. It has built in
encouragement for completing assigned practice and allows instructors to quickly see what your child
has done during the past week. It also allows you to easily see your lesson schedule and reschedule if
needed. All of the same functionality will be available via website if you prefer not to download the app.

Can I change instructors?
Yes! You can change instructors any time by simply scheduling a lesson with another instructor. You may
even want to occasionally do a makeup or extra lesson with another instructor to get a different
perspective.

How will I be billed?
Set up automatic debit from your checking account or credit card and eliminate the hassle of paying instructors each week. Please note there will be a $5/mo. fee for credit card payment to offset the processing fee.

Is there a late fee?
All lesson packages are prepaid. If your payment is not accepted, you will not have a lesson until payment is completed.

What if I want to cancel my membership?
We would hate to see you go, but if you need to cancel your membership you can do so at any time in writing or in the store with no penalty. Any accumulated lesson credits are donated to our scholarship fund upon cancellation and no refunds will be given for partial months.
