Music School Term
Make-up lesson policy
Definition
The rule on rescheduling a missed lesson, which decides how much paid time is given back.
Why It Matters
A missed lesson is a paid hour a teacher still has to be paid for, so the make-up rule decides how much of the tuition the school actually keeps. A generous policy is easy to sell and expensive to run, and changing it after closing costs enrollment. Read the enrollment agreement itself, then ask how many make-ups were given last year against lessons scheduled, because the gap is the real discount.
