Effective date: January 1, 2026

These Terms of Service govern enrollment and participation in Yorkville Music School. By enrolling a student and submitting payment, the parent or legal guardian agrees to the terms outlined below. These terms apply to all students and families and may be updated periodically. The most current version will always be available on this page.

1. Enrollment & Eligibility

Lessons are available to children ages 4–13 only. Yorkville Music School currently operates with a single lead instructor. Enrollment is confirmed once registration is completed and payment is received.

Lesson readiness is determined based on age, attention span, prior experience, and ability to participate in a structured one-on-one lesson environment. The school reserves the right to decline or discontinue enrollment if the instructional setting is not appropriate.

Parents or guardians must disclose any learning differences or developmental considerations, including ADHD, autism spectrum diagnoses, sensory sensitivities, learning disabilities, or behavioral challenges. Yorkville Music School is not a therapeutic or special-education program. Failure to disclose relevant information may result in termination of lessons without refund.

2. Lesson Structure

Lessons are offered in 30-minute and 45-minute formats and are conducted exclusively in-studio. Lesson times are scheduled weekly and remain consistent unless otherwise arranged. Late arrivals do not extend lesson time.

3. Attendance & Cancellations

A minimum of 24-hour notice is required for cancellations. Missed lessons without notice are non-refundable. Make-up lessons may be offered at the school’s discretion. Chronic cancellations may result in loss of the reserved lesson time. Lesson time is reserved exclusively for the registered student and is non-transferable. A lesson may not be reassigned, substituted, or attended by a sibling, friend, or any other individual.

4. Payments & Fees

Tuition is billed monthly and in advance. Payments are processed electronically. Tuition is based on enrollment, not attendance. Declined payments may incur additional fees.

5. Refund Policy

All tuition and fees are non-refundable once a billing period begins. Lessons canceled by the school due to illness or emergency will be rescheduled or credited. No refunds are issued for absences or lateness.

6. Trial Lessons

Yorkville Music School offers a one-time complimentary 20-minute trial lesson. The trial lesson is evaluative and does not guarantee enrollment or reserve a lesson time. Trial lessons may not be repeated.

7. Instruction Continuity

All lessons are taught by the lead instructor. No substitute instructors are provided. Lessons canceled due to instructor illness or emergency may be rescheduled or credited.

8. Student Conduct

Students are expected to arrive prepared and behave respectfully. Disruptive behavior may result in lesson termination.

9. Practice Expectations

Regular at-home practice is essential for progress. Tuition obligations are independent of practice habits.

10. Studio-Only Instruction

Instruction is provided exclusively at the Yorkville Music School studio. In-home, online, or off-site lessons are not offered.

11. Holidays & Closures

The school observes scheduled holidays and seasonal breaks, which will be communicated in advance.

12. Photography & Media

Photos or videos may be captured for educational or promotional purposes. Parents may opt out at any time.

13. Policy Changes

These Terms of Service may be updated periodically. Notice of material changes will be provided to enrolled families. Continued enrollment constitutes acceptance of the current terms.

14. Parent Waiver & Apartment-Based Studio Acknowledgment

Lessons take place in the living room area of a private apartment residence. A kitchen waiting area may be used briefly. Bedrooms and private areas are off-limits and clearly marked. The studio maintains a no-pets policy during lesson times.

Parents are responsible for student arrival, departure, supervision outside lesson time, and any damage caused by their child. Participation carries minimal inherent risk. Emergency services may be contacted if necessary.
