Studio policies

We ask your written permission before we share any photo of your child, on this site, in newsletters or on social media, and you can change your answer at any time. We never put a child's name with a photo, and the photos on this site are examples until we replace them with our own.

Stay home with a fever or a cough and tell your coach. We will move a lesson to another time in the month, and your band keeps your place.

We close for Thanksgiving week and a spring break week. Closures and show months are listed under shows and dates.

Students under eighteen leave with the adult named on their file, unless the file says a teen may leave on their own. Parents may wait in the lobby, which has seats and a window into the hall.

Please collect your teen within fifteen minutes of the end of rehearsal. A coach stays until every student has left, and a call to the desk helps us plan.

Parents and guests are welcome at shows and open rehearsal nights. A parent can sit in on a first class, and during the term the lesson room doors have windows or stay open. At a show, phones go down while a band plays.

Phones stay in a pocket or the cubby during rehearsal, except for a tuner, a metronome or a chart your coach asks for.

Wear what you would play in, with closed shoes for pedals and amps. For a show, a plain dark shirt is enough.
