How do I schedule
lessons?
You can schedule lessons throughout the year. Call our friendly
staff at our toll free number (877)
560-8316, send us an email at contact@musiclessoncentral.com,
or use our contact form.
We will respond to your inquiry promptly. During our first phone
call, we’ll discuss the instrument to study, the experience
of the student (i.e. beginner, etc.), avaliable lesson schedule,
and other specifications so we can choose a teacher that best
suits your needs. We will then match you with a teacher who will
contact you to set up an introductory lesson. You can usually
have a lesson scheduled within 7 days!
Please
note: We require a credit card number in order
to set up your first introductory lesson. There is no fee for
registering and you will not be billed until after the introductory
lesson.
How does the introductory lesson work?
The first introductory lesson is FREE for children upon continuation
on a weekly basis. This lesson is 30 minutes in length. The lesson
gives you the opportunity to meet with the teacher and discuss
any questions you might have. After your introductory lesson,
you can schedule the next lesson with the teacher.
How long are
the lessons?
Lessons are available in 30, 45, and 60 minute sessions. 30 minute
lessons are suitable for younger and/or beginner children while
45 and 60 minute lessons are appropriate for older children and
adults. Lessons are given once a week. If additional lessons during
the week are desired, please speak with your teacher. Call our
office to receive current lesson rates (877)
560-8316.
Is
the lesson always on the same day?
In terms of scheduling for our teachers, the lesson time and day
should be kept consistent. If you have to change the day on an
occasion, please consult with your teacher.
What
is your cancellation policy?
We have a 24 hour lesson cancellation policy. If you inform the
teacher at least 24 hours before the scheduled lesson, you will
not be charged for that lesson. You will be charged if you cancel
less than 24 hours before the lesson.
What
about Holidays, bad weather, or illness?
Lessons won’t be charged if the teacher cannot get to your
home due to inclement weather. Try to contact the teacher and
the MLC staff ASAP if weather may be a problem. If the teacher
is ill, the lesson will not be charged. If the student is ill,
the 24 hour cancellation policy applies. Lessons can be scheduled
around holiday and vacation breaks. Speak with the teacher in
advance to schedule lessons around vacations and holidays.
How much do
lessons cost?
Our rates are reasonably priced with the added bonus of our teachers
traveling to you! To inquire about current rates please call the
MLC office toll free(877)
560-8316, or send an email contact@musiclessoncentral.com.
Please visit the Music Lessonpage for additional info.
How are lessons
paid for?
After the introductory lesson, you will notify your teacher if
you would like to continue with lessons.
You will then be billed through credit card.
Lessons are billed
at the beginning of each month for the lessons completed in the
previous month. Statements are sent through e-mail.
All lessons and lesson packages are automatically renewed unless
notification of termination
is made.
What
is the lesson termination policy?
Students may cancel their lessons at anytime by calling the office
at the toll free number. As a courtesy to the teacher, we ask
that you give at least a two week notice. Purchased packages are
non-refundable. The lesson package is refunded only if the teacher
stops the lessons.
How do we track
lessons?
Your instructor and Music Lesson Central track lessons completed
on a weekly basis.
What
if I don’t want lessons in my home?
You also have the option of traveling to a teacher’s studio
to take your lessons. Same billing rates apply.
What are some things to do to make music
lessons run easily?
The best thing that students can do to contribute to the ease
of lessons is to practice! Make sure you are familiar with the
tasks that the teacher wants you to accomplish each week and come
prepared to each lesson.
Being prepared for
a lesson also means having a designated area in your home where
the music lesson will take place. Have chairs, music stand and
instrument ready to go before your teacher arrives.
If you are a parent
of a child who takes lessons, we ask that you or another adult
be present for the duration of the lesson. An adult 's presence
is important for supervision and continuity during practice between
lessons.

and practicing purposes.
Voice students are also recommended to have a piano/keyboard.
For information on pianos, keyboards, and other instruments, feel
free to consult your teacher or call the office for purchasing
