School Policy
Tuition & Fees
Tuition is charged on a monthly basis for all private lessons. All students are required to enroll in our auto-bill program. This is a safe, secure and convenient way to pay tuition and any ongoing fees while enrolled at the school. Subscription plans are charged on the same day of the month you enrolled in lessons.
Cancelations and Make-up Lessons -
We understand that sometimes life comes up and you may have to cancel a lesson. No problem! Just let us know 24 hours in advance of your lesson. No-shows and lessons canceled with less than 24 hours notice are not made up or refunded. If canceled in advance, you are entitled a make-up lesson credit to be used within one month of the cancellation date - and one makeup lesson is granted per month. In the unlikely event of a teacher cancelation – you are entitled to a make-up lesson.
Instructor Breaks-
In accordance with legal requirements, the instructor is entitled to a brief rest period of up to 3 minutes before each lesson. This break ensures compliance with labor laws and allows the instructor to attend to personal needs, including bathroom breaks. The lesson will start promptly after the break, and the remaining scheduled time will be used for instruction.
Withdrawal -
Enrollment is on-going, but students may withdrawal at any point during the year. Withdrawals must be submitted in written form (text or email) 14-days before the auto-pay charge.
Federal Holiday Closure Policy
Federal Holiday Closures -
Wilde Music Academy is closed for all U.S. federal holidays.
Tuition is charged as a flat monthly rate, rather than on a per-lesson basis. Some months include 4 scheduled lessons, while other months include 5. Wilde Music Academy does not charge an additional fee for months that include a fifth lesson.
Because fifth lessons are included at no extra cost throughout the year, those additional lessons help offset federal holiday closures over the course of the year. For this reason, federal holiday closures do not receive separate make-up lessons, tuition credits, or prorated refunds.
This structure allows tuition to remain consistent each month while balancing the natural variation in the calendar.
Wilde Music Academy observes the following U.S. federal holidays:
-
New Year’s Day — January 1
-
Birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr. — Third Monday in January
-
Washington’s Birthday / Presidents’ Day — Third Monday in February
-
Memorial Day — Last Monday in May
-
Juneteenth National Independence Day — June 19
-
Independence Day — July 4
-
Labor Day — First Monday in September
-
Columbus Day — Second Monday in October
-
Veterans Day — November 11
-
Thanksgiving Day — Fourth Thursday in November
-
Christmas Day — December 25
If a federal holiday falls on a weekend and is officially observed on a weekday, Wilde Music Academy may observe the federally recognized closure date.
Communication Policy -
To keep our lessons focused, productive, and respectful of everyone’s time, communication outside of scheduled sessions is reserved for scheduling and logistics only — such as rescheduling, cancellations, or payment-related questions.
For anything involving your vocal technique, song choices, recordings, or creative projects, I ask that those questions be saved for your lesson time. This includes:
-
Sending music for feedback
-
Asking for advice on vocal or artistic decisions
-
Requesting review of recordings, mixes, or song ideas
-
Coaching questions related to technique, songwriting, or performance
I absolutely love supporting your musical journey, and I want to give your questions and artistry the full focus they deserve. That level of thoughtful attention is best provided during our dedicated time together, where we can work through things in real time with care and clarity.
Need urgent help between sessions?
If you have a time-sensitive need — such as a last-minute audition or a song heading into final production — feel free to reach out to see if I have additional availability that week for a paid add-on session. I’m always happy to support when possible.
Instructor's Right to Terminate
The instructor reserves the right to terminate lessons if necessary under the following conditions:
-
Disruptive or disrespectful behavior.
-
Non-compliance with studio policies.

Health or safety concerns.
Termination will be communicated in writing, outlining the reasons and any applicable details regarding tuition fees. In the event of a termination as a consequence of the student's behavior - there will be no refunds issued - including and not limited to make-up lessons.
