Tuition
Mrs. Gervasi-Azam offers private at home lessons, as well as online and in person instruction at Moore Music Company in downtown Greensboro, and online lessons through her private studio.
For at home lessons, pricing is determined by geographical proximity to her address.
Students may choose either monthly or weekly payment plans. If monthly, payment is due by the first of the month. If weekly, payment is due within 2-5 days before the day of the lesson. Payments are processed by auto pay through Acuity.
Cancellations
If it is necessary to cancel a lesson, a minimum of twenty-four hours’ notice is required, although students are encouraged to provide as much prior notice as possible. Payment is still due for the canceled lesson, but is credited to the student’s account towards a future makeup lesson. If a lesson is canceled without a minimum of twenty-four hours’ notice, that lesson is considered a no-show. Payment is still due for the canceled lesson, but no makeup lesson credit is issued. Lessons canceled 30-days in advance will not incur a charge. Makeup lesson credits may be scheduled at the student’s convenience, and do not ever expire.
If Juliet needs to cancel a lesson for any reason, students have the option to either accept a makeup lesson credit or skip the lesson entirely without charge.
Pausing Lessons
If a student requires a pause in lessons of two consecutive weeks or more, they may choose to temporarily pause their lesson package, and are not required to pay for the lessons during that time.
Students are always welcome to return after lesson pauses, but their original time slot may be given to another student and is not guaranteed upon returning.
No-Shows
If a lesson is canceled without a minimum of twenty-four hours’ notice, that lesson is considered a no-show. Payment is still due for the canceled lesson, but no makeup lesson is scheduled.
This is mainly due to the nature of lesson packages; students are billed either monthly or weekly for a package of at least four or five lessons per month (depending on how many lesson days are included in the month). If a lesson within the package is canceled without prior notice, it is necessary to pay for the time that the teacher has set aside for that student, and therefore could not apply toward another student or professional opportunity.
Each new student is given one makeup lesson credit towards one last minute cancellation, for emergencies.
Holidays
If a student’s lesson falls on a holiday, they may choose between either rescheduling for an alternate day, or canceling the lesson without obligation of payment. This applies to federally recognized holidays including and as well as:
- Christmas Eve
- Christmas Day
- New Year’s Eve
- New Year’s Day
- Thanksgiving
- Eid al-Fitr
- Eid al-Adha
- Independence Day
- Easter
Non-Discrimination
Juliet’s studio welcomes students with a multiplicity of perspectives and experiences and believes that honoring our differences is of the utmost importance. She does not discriminate against any person on the basis of race, color, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, age, national or ethnic origin, political beliefs, veteran status, disability unrelated to course of study, pregnancy, or any other legally protected basis. She condemns all forms of discrimination or harassment, whether subtle or overt, and asserts that all members of her studio join in assuring that all students are accorded dignity and respect. (Most wording borrowed from Harvard University Graduate School of Arts and Sciences’ statement on discrimination and harassment, available for review here: https://gsas.harvard.edu/codes-conduct/discrimination).
Expulsion From Studio
Juliet reserves the right to expel students from her studio at any time for violations against the non-discrimination policy, or other continuous and egregious behavior. Once expelled, students are not welcome to return to the studio.
Discontinuing Lessons
If it is necessary for a student to discontinue lessons, a minimum of two weeks’ notice is required, although students are encouraged to provide as much prior notice as possible. Payment is still due for the remaining two weeks (or any other time period of notice before the date of discontinuing.) Students are welcome to return to the studio at any time after discontinuing lessons.
