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, mutually agreed-upon time and are billed on the first of each month. Tuition is based on lesson length and type (individual or group). Rates and available time slots are confirmed during the registration process.

Capitol Harmony remains open on national holidays. See the Attendance & Make-Up Lessons section for exceptions.

Break Periods (No Regular Lessons)

No regular lessons will be held during the following scheduled breaks:

• Thanksgiving Week: November 24–30, 2025

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

• Summer Period: July 1 – August 31, 2026

Private students may schedule additional lessons during these breaks at the standard rate.

Attendance & Make-Up Lessons (via MyMusicStaff Portal)

All scheduling changes, cancellations, and make-up requests must be handled through the MyMusicStaff Student Portal.

• Missed lessons are non-refundable.

• Lessons canceled at least 24 hours in advance may be rescheduled using a make-up credit, subject to teacher availability.

• Cancellations made less than 24 hours in advance are not eligible for rescheduling, unless approved by the teacher in cases of illness or family emergency.

• If a make-up credit is granted, the original lesson is still charged. The credit allows the student to schedule a free make-up lesson at a later time.

• Make-up credits expire 45 days after the date of issue and are tracked through the portal.

• Lessons begin and end at the scheduled time, even if the student arrives late.

Discontinuation Policy

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