Welcome to Capitol Harmony!

We are honored to support you on your musical journey.

These terms and conditions apply to all lessons during the 2025–2026 school year and are updated annually each fall, particularly to reflect the exact dates of scheduled breaks. Capitol Harmony School of Music will notify all enrolled students and guardians when the updated policy is available on the website.

Tuition & Scheduling

• Lessons are held weekly at a fixed time and billed on the first of each month.

• Tuition is calculated according to lesson length and depends on the type of lesson (individual or class). Rates and available time slots will be provided during the registration process.

• Please note that Capitol Harmony remains open during national holidays. See the Attendance & Make-Up Lessons section of this policy for more details.

Break Periods (No Regular Lessons)

To allow for scheduling flexibility, no regular lessons will be held during the following breaks:

• Thanksgiving Week: November 24–30, 2025

• Winter Period: December 21, 2025 – January 4, 2026

• Summer Period: July 1 – August 31, 2026

Students enrolled in private lessons may purchase additional lessons during these periods at the previously agreed-upon rate.

Attendance & Make-Up Lessons

• Missed lessons cannot be refunded but can be rescheduled if notice is provided at least 48 hours in advance.

• In cases of illness or family emergency, a last-minute cancellation may be rescheduled, subject to the teacher’s availability and discretion. The teacher may choose to extend one or more lessons or invite the student to attend during another student’s absence.

• If fewer than four lessons are offered in a month due to teacher absence, students will receive a credit or refund at the previously agreed-upon rate.

• If a student arrives late, the lesson will still end at the scheduled time.

• To discontinue lessons, a 30-day notice is required. The 30-day period begins on the date written notice is sent to admin@capitolharmony.com—not at the start of the next billing cycle. All lessons scheduled during this 30-day period must be paid in full, regardless of attendance.

Additional Terms

• Acceptance of Terms
  This policy is automatically accepted upon payment of tuition and must be provided to the student by Capitol Harmony during the registration process.

• Online Lessons in Emergencies
  In the rare event of a snowstorm, severe weather, or political/safety-related emergency, lessons will take place online at the regularly scheduled time. If needed, the student may request to reschedule for another week—subject to the teacher’s availability.

• Health and Safety
  To prevent the spread of illness, any student showing symptoms of COVID-19, the flu, or other contagious conditions may be denied entry to the classroom at the teacher’s discretion. Sick students are encouraged to attend online (if well enough) or request a rescheduled lesson, subject to availability.

• Personal Responsibility
  Capitol Harmony is not responsible for lost or damaged belongings, nor for any personal injury occurring on the premises.

• Photo & Video Release Policy 
  By enrolling in lessons, students and/or guardians grant Capitol Harmony permission to photograph or video students during lessons and recitals for marketing purposes. Student names will always remain confidential and will not be published without separate written consent.
