Teacher Absences:

• At Allegra we pride ourselves in our teachers being excellent educators as well as sought after working musicians. All of them are human beings who will occasionally get sick or have scheduling conflicts. In the case of teacher absence, Allegra will provide a qualified substitute.

• Due to time restraints, we may not have the ability to notify families about teacher absences ahead of time. However, if a substitute cannot be secured, we will do our best to give you as much notice as possible, and will issue you a makeup (see above).

• If you choose not to take a class with a substitute, you will forfeit the lesson and be ineligible for a makeup credit. Exceptions to this rule are given at the sole discretion of the owners and Studio Manager.. Makeup credits issued in these cases may be counted toward your annual makeup credit limit.
