Image & Audio/Video Recording Waiver

At the Academy we host an annual picture day that is very popular with our parents. A photographer visits the school and takes pictures of the students and parents get to order copies. We also videotape and photograph recitals occasionally. In our monthly newsletter we feature students of the month, videotape student performances for YouTube and our web site.

If you would like for you or your child to participate in student of the month, picture day, recitals or our newsletter, please answer "Yes" on this image and video/audio recording waiver.

CANCELLATIONS AND MAKEUPS
 
Individual Lessons:
2. For any lessons missed by a teacher, the Academy will attempt to provide a substitute teacher. If a substitute teacher is unavailable, a private makeup lesson with the teacher will be scheduled promptly. In the event of school closing due to severe weather, we will reschedule private lessons during a holiday break. For any lesson missed by a student, the Academy holds one hour group make up classes every weekend. The classes are age and level appropriate and are held between the hours of 10 am and 6 pm. To sign up for a makeup class, contact the office and not the instructor for a date and time. If the student does not have an instrument at home to use during the lesson, the lesson must be rescheduled for a group makeup class at the Academy.
 
Group Lessons (Band and Orchestra):
If a group rehearsal must be cancelled due to weather, a make up lesson will occur on the following Saturday morning. We do not offer refunds for student's missed lessons
 *
DISCONTINUING LESSONS
 
Individual Lessons:
 
3. Every student here is on a month-to-month basis. To discontinue lessons and to discontinue charges to your account, fill out the withdrawal form before the 15th of your last month. We do not prorate tuition for the last month’s lessons. Students will be responsible for their last month’s tuition whether or not they attend lessons.
 
Group Lessons (Band and Orchestra):
Students signed up for Band and Orchestra have committed to the full year and will be responsible for the full tuition. We do not offer refunds for students who wish to withdrawal from the Band and Orchestra program.
 *
AVERAGE OF FOUR LESSONS PER MONTH (For individual Lessons Only):
4. Monthly tuition is based on a 48 week year. We are closed for four weeks for holidays. In the long months, you will get five months, short months such as November and December, you will get three lessons, and most months you will get four lessons. The tuition is the SAME each month; i.e. we don’t charge you more when you have five lessons, and we don’t charge you less when you have three lessons in a month. This makes everyone’s accounting easier.
 *
SUMMER VACATION (For Individual Lessons Only):
5. The BCS Music Academy operates year-round and does not close for the summer. We are happy to offer unlimited makeups for our students, and they are held every Saturday. If you are taking a month off for vacation and want to resume the next month, your payment is still due on the first of the month to reserve your lesson space. The lessons for the month you miss can be made up when you return from vacation.
 *
CARE OF STUDENTS
6. The school is not responsible for providing before or after care for students. Parents with children under the age of eight must remain in the school lobby during the classes. Students are not to be left at the school for excessive time periods before or after their lessons.

OPEN DOOR POLICY
7. Parents are always allowed to sit in on lessons. We have an open-door policy for lessons. For Band and Orchestra, due to the space we are unable to accommidate additional visitors during the rehearsal.

Parents, legal guardians of minors, students and adult students waive the right to any legal action for any injury sustained on school property resulting from normal lesson activity or any other activity conducted by the students or their siblings before, during, or after lesson time, including hearing loss or hearing damage.
