LESSONS

• Online Lessons will be held using Zoom, Google Meet, FaceTime or Skype, depending on the teacher and students’ preference.
• Students are responsible for having the appropriate instrument and necessary equipment available to them. This includes the electronic device, adequate internet connection, musical instrument and sheet music.
• Lessons that are interrupted or fail to connect due to student’s technical difficulties or lack of internet connection will be counted as a student absence. Lessons that are not completed due to a teacher’s technical issues will be made up.
• Participants must be fully dressed with cameras on at all times. If a student fails to comply with the teachers’ request to turn their camera on, the lesson will be cancelled and reflected as an absence.
• Regularly scheduled Online Lessons are to be held at their agreed-upon day and time. Lessons may not be rescheduled to accommodate student absences.
