Hamilton Music Lesson Guidelines

As is so often the case, when a small enterprise attracts more clients, those clients, as well as the Studio, seek more defined parameters, towards a smoother intermingling of principles.  We regret the boiler plate, and somewhat stiff language, but, we found no better way of clearly expressing the issues.  Any suggestions towards improving this page are welcome.

REGISTRATION AND PAYMENTS

A student registration is complete when the studio has issued the registration form and received all payments.  Payment options are listed on the registration form and below see Method of Payment.  Fees must be received at the time of registration.
