| Attendance: |
Regular attendance is of utmost importance for the student to achieve optimal results. LAGA's teaching philosophy advocates consistent attendance and home practice/study. Students are urged to take their lesson schedules and practice times very seriously, arriving to lessons a few minutes early to allow time for the warm up routine without their guitar, being well rested and focused. |

| Cancellations and make-up lessons: |
Cancellations must be made 24 hours prior to the lesson. Make-ups must be scheduled on one of the make up days available for that month.

(e.g. an additional fee of 2x$40=$80 per lesson, if the teacher drives for half an hour to get to your place.) |
