Quick answers at a glance

• Weekly lesson window: Your teacher may arrive up to 15 minutes early/late to account for traffic.

• Eligibility: One excused make-up per month; instructor-canceled lessons are always made up (substitute or virtual allowed).

• Performance: We host recitals twice a year (plus open mic nights) to build confidence—participation encouraged, not required.

Scheduling FAQs

How do weekly lesson times work during the school year?

We book a consistent weekly slot that fits your family’s routine. Because of traffic variability, please plan for a ±15-minute arrival window.

Can siblings or multiple instruments be scheduled back-to-back?

Yes—back-to-back scheduling is common. Tell us the instruments/ages and we’ll arrange a smooth rotation at home.

What if my school or sports schedule changes mid-semester?

Email or call us—many families adjust by shifting the time or splitting lessons (e.g., 30/30). We’ll make a good-faith effort to accommodate changes within teacher availability.

Do you offer virtual back-up lessons?

If an in-home visit isn’t possible (illness, minor schedule conflicts), your teacher may switch to virtual for that week so you don’t lose momentum.

Make-Up & Cancellation FAQs

Which absences qualify for a make-up?

• Lessons canceled with 48 hours’ notice
• Major religious holidays
• Instructor-canceled lessons (these are always made up; a substitute may be used)
• Case-by-case: last-minute illness, serious family situations, and seasonal sports conflicts (best-effort; not guaranteed)

Limit: No more than one excused make-up per month.

How do monthly make-up days work?

Each teacher offers one specific make-up day each month for any eligible lessons from the previous 30 days. If the make-up isn’t completed by then, it is forfeited.

What does not qualify for a make-up?

• Last-minute social events, visitors, or trips
• When an instructor arrives and no student is available
• Cancellations inside 48 hours that don’t fall under illness/emergency

Can make-ups be virtual?

Yes. Virtual make-ups are a great way to keep consistency when schedules are tight.

In-Home Safety & Lesson Environment

Are teachers background-checked?

Yes. All teachers are screened and background-checked annually and trained in our positive, student-centered methodology. Teachers are independent contractors engaged to provide instruction.

What are the parent/guardian responsibilities?

Parents/guardians agree to:

• Provide adult supervision during lessons for minor students
• Ensure a quiet, suitable space (piano/keyboard or instrument ready, seating, good lighting)
• Keep pets managed if they’re likely to interrupt
• Review practice notes and help students stick to a consistent routine

Do teachers provide transportation?

No. B Amazing Music does not provide transportation and is not responsible for any transportation of students. (We discourage teachers from transporting students.)

What should my lesson space look like?

• A stable bench/chair and music stand (as needed)
• Piano/keyboard tuned/functional (88-key weighted recommended) or instrument in good repair
• Distraction-reduced: TV off, devices silent, siblings occupied

Tuition & Calendar Basics (high level)

• Our school-year tuition is designed around a set number of instructional weeks, with payments spread evenly across the year for predictability.
• We pause lessons for standard school breaks (Thanksgiving week, Winter break, and Spring break) and recital weeks—these are built into the calendar.
• Full policy details are shared during registration and in our Parent Info.

Recitals & Motivation

We host two recitals per year (Holiday and Spring) and open mic nights. Performing is optional but encouraged—the experience accelerates growth and builds confidence for students of all ages.

FAQ (quick answers for searchers)

Do you offer group lessons?

No. We specialize in one-on-one, in-home private lessons for faster progress and personalized feedback.

Do you teach adults too?

Absolutely. Adult beginners and returning musicians thrive with our low-pressure, in-home approach.

What if we don’t own a piano yet?

Start with an 88-key weighted keyboard and a sustain pedal. We’ll recommend budget-friendly options and set it up during your first lesson.

What if I’m unhappy with a teacher match?

We guarantee you’ll love your teacher—or we’ll make it right with a new match.
