COMMUNICATION: E-mail will be our main source of contact with you. Please make sure you have provided a valid e-mail account to ensure you don't miss out on important information and events. The school website is www.lcmusicanddance.com. Please be sure to read all of the information below before agreeing to enroll your child at Academy of Music & Dance. By giving AMAD your payment information and/or completing this registration form, you authorize Academy of Music & Dance to charge your registration/materials/pro-rated tuition today, and tuition on the 1st of every month until you complete the withdrawal process as listed below.

PRIVATE LESSON Fee: A non-refundable fee of $45/individual, $55/family is required yearly at the time of registration.

Our yearly calendar offers 38 weekly lessons, two recitals (December and May) and four make-ups (two in the Fall and two in the Spring). The tuition is $92/month.

TUITION: You are registering for an entire school year (August-May). All tuition is processed using an Auto-Pay from Visa/MasterCard on the 1st of each month. By giving AMAD your payment information and/or completing this registration form you authorize Academy of Music & Dance to charge your registration/materials/pro-rated tuition today, and tuition on the 1st of every month until you complete the withdrawal process as listed below. The tuition is calculated for the whole year and divided into 10 equal monthly payments (whether the month has 3, 4 or 5 lessons). If we close the school (due to inclement weather or other emergencies) you're not charged for that lesson/class. If you join mid-year the tuition will be pro-rated for the remaining lessons/recitals. If your payment is unfunded, your account will be charged a $25 fee after the second occurrence. If payment is not made and the account is turned over to collections or small claims court you agree to pay any and all costs associated with collecting this debt.

MAKE UP LESSONS: A student may have 4 make-up lessons during the school year. After 2 lessons PER SEMESTER have been rescheduled for make-ups, no more will be offered. If your student needs to miss a lesson, please call the school at 525-2909 by 10:00 a.m. that day M-F to earn a makeup. On Saturday, please call by 8:000AM. We can offer that time to another student who wishes to make-up a missed lesson. Private Make-up lessons are usually done in openings created by another student's cancellation. When you're ready for us to schedule your make-up, call in on the day you're available to see what cancellations are available that day. It can take a few attempts to find a make-up time that will work for you, so don't wait until the last week. All make-up lessons must be scheduled by the end of May; make-ups do not carry over as a credit into summer. Unused make-ups are forfeited at withdrawal. There are no refunds for missed lessons, even with advance notice. The school will provide a substitute teacher if your regularly scheduled teacher is ill or otherwise unable to attend a lesson. If we can't arrange a substitute, we'll provide a make-up lesson before the end of the school year.

Due to the talents of our many teachers, Academy of Music & Dance is happy to conduct educational services outside of our facility tailored to your specific needs. We contract private or group lessons in music, dance, reading, math, science, foreign languages to name just a few. We can send a teacher to provide music, dance, art, science for you child's themed birthday party event or to your private school for after or during school activities. Contact us at 525-2909 for more information. Home school families are welcome to contact Academy of Music & Dance for all areas of study. It is not appropriate to contact our teachers separately for services as they are under contract with Academy of Music & Dance.

INJURY/PHOTO RELEASE WAIVER: I release any and all rights and claims for damages against Academy of Music & Dance and its staff in the unlikely event of injury sustained by myself or my child(ren) during the course of or as a result of this musical/dance/preschool activity.

The studio is hereby granted permission to take photographs of students (in class activities) to use for class t-shirts, collages, in-studio display, press releases, brochures, web sites, posters, advertisements, and other promotional materials the studio creates. Permission is also granted for the studio to copyright such photographs in it's name.

To withdraw a student from classes or activities, 30-31 days from the first of the month is required. I understand that I must physically come into the school office (room 3) to complete the Withdrawal Form (not a phone call, email or message through the teacher) and schedule any outstanding makeups that can fit in my last month of lessons. Any unused makeups will be forfeited after withdrawal. All automatic payments will stop after the one-month period. There are no withdrawals allowed after April 1, 2018 in any of our programs or classes. I understand that Academy of Music & Dance reserves the right to terminate lessons to any student without notice. In such a case a refund for unused lessons will be given. If a student decides to begin lessons again, no registration fee will be charged if a relevant registration fee has already been paid for that school year.
