  A student who does not attend a lesson will simply miss the benefit of that lesson. This includes extra-curricular activities (soccer, volleyball, etc.), work activities, vacations, etc.
  
  While we understand that these types of activities inevitably occur, no credits will be issued for lessons that are missed as a result of them.
  
  
• At times, we may elect to offer a lesson credit due to an extenuating circumstance. However, this is completely at the discretion of the Silbernik Music Academy.
  
  
• If you need to change your regular recurring lesson time, we will be happy to change it to another available time slot.

• There are no makeup lessons or rescheduling of missed lessons.


• There are no refunds or credits for lessons missed by the student.

• In the event that you need to miss a lesson due to illness, please contact us with as much advance notice as possible. We will NOT charge you for lessons missed due to illness. In such cases, a credit to your account will be issued.
  
  
• Students arriving to their lesson who appear to be ill will be sent home!
