Payment & Policies

How do I make payments for lessons?

Payments are due on a monthly basis and should be made at the first lesson of each month.
Payments are made directly to the teacher via check or cash. Please note that most teachers cannot accept credit cards.
If you know you will not be able to attend a lesson in the upcoming month, you are allowed one excused absence per month. To use the excused absence, please notify the teacher and withhold the amount of one lesson from your payment. This must be done at the first lesson of the month.
After payments are made, lesson times are reserved with the teacher and excused absences will not be granted due to student cancellations.

What happens if a lesson is canceled by the teacher?

If a lesson is canceled by the teacher, students will not be charged for the lesson.
If a lesson has already been paid for and is canceled by the teacher, a credit will be issued for the following month.

Can I make up a missed lesson?

Make-up lessons are at the discretion of the teacher.
For a make-up lesson to be considered, the teacher must be given at least 24 hours' notice of the student’s absence and the teacher must be able to arrange a suitable make-up time.
Make-up lessons are not guaranteed and will not be offered if the student cancels within 24 hours of the lesson.

How much do lessons cost?

Teachers at Air House set their own rates. The price ranges from $25-$33 per 30 minute lesson, depending on which teacher you select.
