Monthly payment is due the first week of the month for that month. If payment is not received within net 20 (20 days) of the invoice due date, a $15 late fee will be charged on the following invoice.

Vocal and musical transformation occurs over time and with consistency. Single lessons or coaching are best for a quick tune up or confidence booster before a performance or recording session, or for songwriting input.  On the occasion that students desire a single lesson, the first lesson can be pre-paid online once students have read and acknowledged all policies and waivers of Laura Vecchione and Laura V. Music Studio. Once lessons are booked, there is no refund or credit for missed lesson, though every effort will be made when given a minimum of 24 hours notice, to reschedule those lessons.  Any rescheduling must be completed within 30 days. Outside 30 days, any missed lessons are no longer valid.

Due to my increasingly full teaching schedule, I have implemented a more structured cancellation policy to ensure fairness and consistency for all students.

• 48+ hours’ notice: Full refund or lesson credit.
• 24–48 hours’ notice: 50% of the lesson fee is due.
• Less than 24 hours’ notice: Full payment is required. The lesson will not be refunded, credited, or made up.

Make-up lessons for student cancellations cannot be guaranteed. If a make-up lesson is available, it must be scheduled during the week of the cancellation and completed within 30 days of the missed lesson.

If I need to cancel a lesson, I will make every effort to reschedule it.  If rescheduling is not possible, you will receive a full refund or lesson credit.

If a student is more than 15 minutes late without notice, the lesson will be forfeited and no refund or credit will be issued.

All no show sessions are forfeited and no refund is granted.

Students are encouraged to keep their weekly time slot throughout the year, so as not to lose a spot on the schedule. If schedules change due to sports, rehearsals, performances, etc. a minimum of 21 days notice is required. Laura V. Music Studio will work to find a new scheduling option, but once a lesson time is changed, students may be subject to a waiting list, though we will do our best to make things work on both ends.

Should a lesson need to be cancelled by Laura Vecchione and Laura V. Music Studio, students will have the option to reschedule the lesson, or receive a credit or refund.
