STUDIO POLICIES FOR BEST LESSON EVER!

At Best Lesson Ever, we understand that life can get complicated. We also know that successful and fulfilling music lessons depend on regular commitment. That’s why we’ve designed our policies to give you as much flexibility as possible while still promoting consistency.

Our teachers reserve time on their schedules, plan for lessons, and invest in the long-term development of each student. To provide regular, quality lessons, the following policies have been put in place.

If you have any questions regarding our policies, please contact us at info@bestlessonever.com
