Students are permitted two cancellations per 4-month lesson period. Students will be charged at the third cancellation and for each cancellation thereafter.

Students will be charged for cancellations made the same day as their scheduled lesson, however we can make exceptions of this policy for sudden illness/injury.

Lateness
Students who arrive late to their lesson will be given the remainder of their allotted lesson time.

SPMC&C Cancellations, Etc.
If South Pasadena Music Center and Conservatory cancels a lesson due to teacher illness or other contingency, you will be notified in advance and not be charged for the lesson.

If a teacher is late for a lesson, you will receive your full lesson time.

Our instructors are top musicians who are active in their professional fields of endeavor.  Although we make every effort to provide consistency in instruction, occasionally our instructors have a engagements and may be unavailable to teach a specific lesson. In these cases we will provide a well-qualified substitute instructor from our staff.

Payment for Classes
Classes are all on a semester basis (16 classes per semester).  Fees per class are listed in this bulletin with class descriptions.

Fees are due in full prior to attending the first class.

Fees will be pro-rated for those registering after the semester starts.

Cancellation Policy for Classes
All classes are subject to minimum and maximum enrollments. No refunds after the first class day. There is a $25 processing fee for cancellations or program changes later than three weeks before session start date.  Full refunds for any sessions cancelled by South Pasadena Music Center.
