Student Contract

Matthew Greisen Student Contract

Matt Greisen Guitar, Ukulele, Bass and Drum Studio.

Agreement:

Location: All lessons will take place at Matthew Greisen’s house, over Zoom, or at students' houses (rates may vary depending on commute time).

Materials: It is recommended that students keep a three-ring binder or folder for lesson notes. Depending on the instrument and skill level, certain books or sheet music may need to be purchased for use during lessons. I am able to purchase these books for you and bring a receipt for reimbursement.

Scheduling:

A 24-hour notice is required to cancel or reschedule a lesson. Cancellations on short notice are non-refundable and will not be rescheduled.
Please inform me at the beginning of each month if your weekly time needs to be altered. I will do my best to accommodate your schedule.
Lessons will begin at the agreed-upon time and end after the allotted time with no exceptions and with full payment. I often teach students consecutively and cannot accommodate late arrivals.
If payment is not made before or at the first lesson, the lesson will not take place.

Makeup Lessons:

Makeup lessons must be scheduled within 4 weeks of the original lesson date.
If we cannot find a suitable time, we can add time to the end of lessons if no other students are scheduled immediately after. Alternatively, lessons canceled with more than 24 hours' notice can be refunded at 75% of the individual lesson rate.
Contact me directly for refunds.

Ending Lessons:

You must notify me one month in advance if you plan to discontinue lessons.
If you pay via direct deposit through my website, it is your responsibility to cancel payments before your billing date.

Payment Details:

Accepted payment methods include cash, check, cards via my website, venmo, zelle or paypal (Paypal rates include a 5% service charge)
Payment through my website is billed once a month. This means that in some months you will have five lessons, while in others you may receive four (this does not apply to 120 min Lesson Bundles, Policy subject to change). This balances out months with holidays and breaks.
Lesson Paid for via venmo, zelle, paypal, cash or check, will be paid four in groups of four before the start of the first lesson.
Observed holidays and breaks include Christmas (entire week), Thanksgiving (Wednesday to Friday), and Spring Break. These times are paid for even though lessons will not occur, but they can be rescheduled if there is availability, although this is not promised.

Health and Safety:

Students must follow all health and safety guidelines during in-person lessons, including any current COVID-19 protocols and hygiene practices.

Behavior Expectations:

Students are expected to behave respectfully and maintain focus during lessons to ensure a productive learning environment.

Liability Waiver:

Matthew Greisen is not responsible for any accidents or injuries that occur during in-person lessons at his house or the student's house.

Confidentiality:

All personal information shared during lessons will be kept confidential.

Parental Involvement:

Parents are encouraged to be involved in their child's progress, especially for younger students.
