Private Music Lesson (PML) Policies

Students are encouraged to register for the full school year. Check The Heart website and select “Important Dates” for more information on start/end dates and holiday closures. Summer lessons may be available with some teachers.
There is also a trial package available. This includes four 30 minute lessons with the teacher of choice. The cost for these is at our regular rate ($35/$40 per 30 min, the price depends on teacher you choose) for a total of $140/$160. Students are only allowed one trial package after which they will be required to commit to the remainder of the year (at a prorated price).
Private music lessons are available to After School Care students. We will do our best to find a time that works within your child’s schedule. Our staff will ensure that they are taken to and from their lesson at the correct time each week.
*The monthly instalment plan is only available to students registering for the full term. For students on the trial package or taking summer lessons, full payment is required.

Cancellation Policies:

We ask that you inform the teacher of any cancellations or planned absences at least 48 hours in advance. A maximum of four makeup lessons can be provided, after which teachers will not be required to provide further makeups. In the case of last-minute unforeseeable events (ex.weather-related, accidents, building closure, etc) that prevent the lesson from taking place, make-up lessons are at the discretion of the teacher, and not required.
Refunds will not be provided except with the permission of the teacher and/or proof of special circumstances (family emergency, serious health concerns, other unforeseeable events, etc).
