Musical Chairs Faculty set aside mutually agreed upon weekly timeslots for their students.  Faculty and Students are expected to attend regular weekly lessons. 


Lessons canceled 24 hours in advance, are offered but not guaranteed a makeup lesson. 


No shows and last minute cancellations (unless due to infrequent, unexpected illness) are not eligible for makeups. 


The first weeks in January and June are designated as make-up weeks. No regular lessons are scheduled these weeks as they are designed to cover previously canceled lessons that have not otherwise been made up.
