Our Policy

MUSICAL PLAYDATE POLICIES



These policies apply to Musical Playdate registrations. The INSTRUMENT AND KINDERMUSIK STUDENT POLICIES below apply only to ongoing Kindermusik and instrument lessons and do not apply to Musical Playdates.



Registration & Attendance

Musical Playdates are for children ages birth to 4 years. Children over 4 may not attend.

Each child attending requires their own registration, including siblings.

Each child must be accompanied by a parent or caregiver. One adult may accompany multiple siblings, and no more than one adult per registered child may attend.

Spaces are limited and reserved in the order registrations are received.

Playdates begin and end on time. We can’t extend the session for late arrivals.



Minimum Enrollment

Each Playdate requires a minimum number of registered children to take place.

If a Playdate does not meet minimum enrollment, Nuance Music Studio may cancel it. We will notify registered families by email at least 24 hours before the scheduled start time.

If we cancel a Playdate, your family may attend another Playdate that same month, if space is available, or a Playdate the following month, at no additional cost. Transfers must be used within one month of the canceled Playdate.



Cancellations & Missed Playdates

All registrations are final. We do not offer refunds, cancellations, or transfers for registrations made by families.

Playdates missed for any reason, including late arrival or illness, cannot be refunded, credited, or rescheduled.



Illness

Please stay home if your child or the accompanying adult has had a fever, vomiting, diarrhea, a contagious rash, or cold or flu symptoms within the past 24 hours.

Weather & Emergencies

If we need to cancel a Playdate due to severe weather or an emergency, we’ll notify families as soon as possible and offer the same transfer options described under Minimum Enrollment.



Supervision & Safety

The accompanying adult remains responsible for their child or children at all times, including in the lobby, restrooms, and parking lot.

Playdates include movement, dancing, and hands-on instrument play. Please dress your child comfortably and bring socks for everyone who will participate.

By registering, you acknowledge that Playdate activities involve physical movement and agree that participation is at your own risk. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Nuance Music Studio, LLC is not liable for injury, loss, or damage arising from participation in Playdates.



Photo & Video Release

Nuance Music Studio may take photos and videos during Playdates for use on our website, social media, and promotional materials. We never publish children’s full names.

By registering, you grant Nuance Music Studio permission to use images and recordings of your child and the accompanying adult for these purposes, without compensation.

To opt out, email contact@nuancemusicstudio.com before your Playdate. We’ll make sure your family is not included in any published images.



Conduct

To keep Playdates enjoyable for everyone, we may ask a family to step out briefly if a child needs a break. We reserve the right to decline future registrations for behavior that is unsafe or repeatedly disruptive to the group.

INSTRUMENT AND KINDERMUSIK STUDENT POLICIES



June 2026 - August 2027



Our Mission

Nuance Music Studio is committed to providing high-quality music lessons to students of all ages. Our goal is to inspire a lifelong love of music by helping students build confidence, encourage progress, foster meaningful growth, and create a positive learning experience that includes:

● Music lessons

● Academic-year scheduling, with optional summer lessons

● End-of-School-Year Recital



Enrollment Overview

Nuance Music Studio offers ongoing year-round instruction following our academic-year calendar from September through August. Enrollment continues automatically from month to month unless written notice of withdrawal is provided. Students follow a scheduled calendar of lessons throughout the school year. Annual tuition is divided into equal monthly

installments and billed from September through June. Summer tuition for July and August continues at the regular monthly rate and schedule unless written notice of withdrawal

or schedule changes is provided at least thirty (30) days in advance. Nuance Music Studio may also offer additional summer programs and flexible scheduling options.



Enrollment Agreement

To maintain clear communication about tuition, fees, summer schedule, and the number of lessons per semester, a parent/guardian or adult student signs the Policy Agreement upon enrollment.



Tuition & Fees

● Families are responsible for monthly payments once the first installment is paid.

● Registration & Materials Fee: $100 per instrument student and $60 per Kindermusik student, billed annually in September (or upon joining, whichever is later). This non-refundable fee is charged upon registration.

● Tuition: Payable in advance and due on the 1st of every month.

● Payment Program: Tuition will be processed through our online payment program and will be automatically debited on the 1st of each month from the payment method you provide on the platform.

● Tuition reserves a student’s scheduled lesson time and is not based solely on attendance.

● Late / Declined Payment Fee: A late fee of up to $100 may apply to overdue accounts.

● Lessons may be suspended after 10 days of non-payment. Repeated late payments or non-payment may result in termination of lessons without refund.

● Enrollment and monthly tuition fees do not cover additional miscellaneous expenses such as competition registrations or other external costs.

● Students enroll with Nuance Music Studio rather than with an individual teacher. Nuance Music Studio reserves the right to assign or reassign teachers as needed.



Communication & Account Information

Families are responsible for keeping contact information and payment information current and for reviewing studio communications sent by email or text.



Schedule, Holidays, and Observed Dates

A calendar with the scheduled lessons, holidays, and observed dates will be sent to you on enrollment. No lessons will be held on the dates marked as holidays or studio closures. Please mark your calendars accordingly.



Arrival time for lessons (At-Home Lessons)

Our teachers travel between homes during working hours. Please allow a 5–10 minute arrival window past the scheduled lesson time. If a teacher misses a lesson and has not contacted you, please notify Nuance Music Studio as soon as possible by message or email.



Supervision Requirement (At-Home & Online Lessons)

An adult must be present on the premises during each lesson.

If no adult is present upon the teacher’s arrival, the lesson will be considered missed and is not eligible for credit or make-up.



Online Lessons

● Technology Requirements: Families are responsible for having a working device, stable internet connection, and the video platform (usually Google Meet) ready before each lesson.

● Environment: Students should be in a quiet, distraction-free space with their instrument ready.

● Recording: Students wishing to record a lesson should first obtain permission from the teacher.

● Supervision: An adult must be present or available during each online lesson.

● Missed Lessons Due to Technology Issues:

○ If the teacher’s connection fails, it will be treated as a Teacher Absence and should be made up.

○ If the student’s connection fails, it will be treated as a Student Absence and is not eligible for credit or makeup.



Recitals and Performances

Nuance Music Studio plans to hold recitals throughout the school year. While participation is not mandatory, recitals are a wonderful opportunity for students to share their progress.



Missed Lessons (Instruments and Kindermusik)

● Student Absences: Due to teacher scheduling and the individualized nature of these lessons, we are unable to offer credits, reschedules, or refunds for missed instrumental lessons.

● Teacher Absences: Each semester includes one designated make-up week for any teacher absences.

● Makeups or refunds do not apply to cancellations due to state-declared emergencies such as severe weather events (e.g., tornadoes, snowstorms, hurricanes, or other emergencies).



Student Preparedness

Students are expected to bring required books and materials to lessons and to have access to a properly functioning instrument for regular practice.



Student Conduct

Nuance Music Studio reserves the right to discontinue lessons with any student whose behavior is disruptive, disrespectful, or otherwise incompatible with a positive learning environment.



Illness Policy

Students who are experiencing fever, vomiting, contagious illness, or other symptoms that may place teachers or classmates at risk should remain home until symptom-free for at least 24 hours.



Online Lessons (At-Home & In-Studio)

If a teacher is unable to teach in person due to minor illness but is still able to teach online, lessons may be held virtually at the regularly scheduled time.



Termination of Lessons

Withdrawal requests must be submitted by email to contact@nuancemusicstudio.com at least thirty (30) days before the next scheduled tuition charge (the 1st of the month). For example, to avoid being charged for September, written notice must be received by August 1st. Tuition is non-refundable once charged. Notice given to teachers verbally or by text message does not constitute official written notice.



Photo & Video Consent

By enrolling in our lessons, you grant Nuance Music Studio permission to use photos and videos taken during lessons or events for promotional purposes, including social media and our website. If you prefer that the student not be included in any promotional media, please notify Nuance Music Studio in writing at the time of registration.
