Terms of Service

Last updated: August 7, 2025

1. Lesson Services

This student enrollment agreement sets forth the terms and conditions of your purchase of instructional services from Echo Academy of Music.

2. Description

Percussion ensemble lessons will incorporate composed music of excellent quality and world music. These lessons will utilize various percussion instruments, movement, drama, and singing. Through imitation, exploration, and improvisation, we will integrate teaching methods used worldwide, such as Dalcroze Eurhythmics, Orff-Schulwerk, Kodály Concepts, Suzuki, and Kindermusik.

3. Registration

There is no registration fee.

4. Tuition

Lessons will be offered through local kindergartens, either during the day or as part of their afterschool programs, eliminating the need to fight traffic or spend extra time on your child's education—simple, comfortable, and convenient.

There will be three seasons of lessons during the school year (Fall, Winter, and Spring) each with 10 sessions.

  • Duration: 30 minutes weekly during the school year.
  • Price: $15.00 per lesson (calculated by multiplying this amount by the number of weeks left in each season).
  • Tuition is due before each session begins, and classes will be prorated for late enrollment.

The tuition includes lessons, curriculum, instruments, and materials. Additionally, free recitals will also be offered.

5. Cancellation / Reschedule Policy

Lessons will not be refunded or rescheduled, except in the following cases:

  • Inclement weather as officially announced by the local kindergarten.
  • Teacher's illness.

In these cases, classes will be rescheduled.

6. Code of Conduct

  • Students must treat all instruments with care and respect. In the event of damage, Echo Academy of Music reserves the right to charge a replacement fee.
  • Cell phone use is not permitted during lessons.
  • Students are expected to show respect toward their peers, instructors, academy property, and the overall learning environment. Serious disruptions may result in immediate suspension from a session. Repeated behavior may lead to suspension for the remainder of the season.

7. Policies for Minors

From time to time, Echo Academy of Music may record or photograph students during lessons, recitals, or other public performances for use on our website or other promotional media.

By completing registration, you consent to such use as the legal guardian of the student.
