Media Release
Photographs and video recordings may be used for Pasadena Music Institute’s marketing materials or publications. Refer to the Lesson Policies Form for full details.
Punctuality
Please arrive on time for lessons and classes. Lessons conclude at the scheduled end time, even if a student arrives late. Instructors are not obligated to wait more than 15 minutes for late arrivals, after which the lesson may be forfeited.
Absences & Cancellations
Students must notify Pasadena Music Institute at least 24 hours before a scheduled private lesson to cancel. Cancellations made within 24 hours of the lesson time are still subject to payment as contracted.
Excused Absences
Each student is allowed up to three excused absences per semester (three months). Any additional absences will result in forfeited lessons.
Extended Absences
If a student misses three consecutive weeks, we cannot guarantee the same lesson time will be available upon their return.
