Expectations
Students are enthusiastic and invested in their vocal growth; as such, they will be expected to arrive on time and prepared for lessons (sheet music, tracks, pencil, etc.) and make an effort to practice between sessions using provided resources.
In the event that a student is experiencing cold or flu symptoms the day of a lesson, but are well enough to sing, they are expected to notify BVS and pivot to a virtual session.
Scheduling & Communication
Drop In Students should use the booking platform Calendly for lesson scheduling.
Communication should primarily be handled through email, except in cases of time sensitive information, emergency, etc.
Payment
Payment for Drop In Lessons may be sent any time before the start of the lesson via Venmo or Zelle.
Students holding a weekly appointment will be billed at the beginning of the 12 Week Program, unless a payment plan has been discussed and approved.
Cancellations
Students have up to 48 hours before the scheduled lesson to cancel or reschedule without penalty. This allows the spot to be booked by other students on the waitlist.
Students will be responsible for the full lesson fee in cases of last minute cancellations and no shows.
Exceptions to this policy may be made at the discretion of BVS in cases of illness or emergency.
Privacy Policy
