Drop In & Initial Fit Lessons
Payment is due at the time of booking. Cancellations can be made right up to the lesson time, but the studio must be notified. Failing to do so is considered a no-show. Students have 365 days to reschedule or forfeit their payment.
Class Punchcards
Payment for the class punchcard is due at the time purchase and is non-refundable. In the case of payment plans, students cannot schedule more lessons than what has been paid for. In the case of late payments, after 15 days, scheduled lessons are canceled. (Lessons may be rescheduled once the payment is made). After 45 days, the punchcard will be canceled and any unused lessons will be forfeited.
Punchcards expire 180 days (approximately 6 months) from the day of purchase. Unused lessons will be forfeited. Lessons may be cancelled/rescheduled right up to the lesson time through the studio web portal.
Students are responsible for booking and rescheduling their lessons. Students may cancel right up to their lesson time, but must notify the studio. Failing to do so is considered a no-show. Note that the studio calendar shows three months worth of available time slots at a time. Unless otherwise arranged with the studio, students can book up to four months of lessons at a time. An exception to this can be made for students purchasing class packs for regularly scheduled bi-weekly lessons.
If a student requires a different level of lessons and/or other services, the punch card can be converted to a custom retainer-style engagement.
Custom Retainer-Style Engagements
Packages include meetings/coachings/lessons and additional services (such as arranging, research, outside coaching for specific needs, accompanists, or production work). Retainers require a 3 month minimum engagement.
After the initial three months, the engagement will be billed monthly on the 1st. Payments will be considered late if not made by the 15th of the month. Payments more than 30 days late may result in the the suspension of the retainer until the payment is caught up.
Cancellations & No Shows
Students who miss their lesson with no notification are considered no-shows. If a student misses 3 lessons without notification, the student will lose their time slot with no refund. Students should make every effort to be on time for their lesson. If they are more than 10 minutes late without notifying the studio, the Zoom session will be shut down and the student will be considered a no show.
Exceptions are made for emergencies. Conflicts with other interests, activities or appointments are not considered emergencies.
Air & Ink Studio makes every effort not to cancel lessons. If Air & Ink does need to cancel, lessons will be rescheduled. For tuition students, if a mutually agreeable time is not available, the cancellation will be made up during the Bonus Days. If that’s not possible, a refund will be issued. For punch card students, if the lesson cannot be rescheduled before the punch card expires, the expiration will be extended by 30 days. If a reschedule still isn’t possible, a refund will be issued for the lesson. How cancellations are handled in a custom package will be determined when the package is developed.
At the time of sign-up, students are granted access to the Air & Ink Studio calendar. Students will be expected to manage their cancellations and reschedules through the calendar.
Group Art & Music Classes
Group classes are held online via Zoom. During the registration process, students will receive a link to the Zoom classroom for their class.
The price for classes varies based on length of class, materials, etc. Please refer to the individual class listings for more information. Payment is due upon registration.
Refunds for class withdrawals will be issued at the following rates:
- 7+ days out: 100% refund will be issued.
- 2 – 7 days out: 50% refund will be issued.
- Less than 2 days out: No refund will be issued.
Withdrawals must be submitted in writing.
If a one day class is canceled by Air & Ink Studio, a full refund will be issued. If one or more meetings of a multi-day class are canceled by Air & Ink, Air & Ink will make every effort to make the class(es) up. If a make-up date cannot be agreed upon, Air & Ink will issue a pro-rated refund for the classes missed. If a student is absent from a class, they will have access to the class recording for 7 days after the class’s conclusion to make up the material.
Technical Considerations & Materials
Private Lessons
When you book your initial fit lesson, I will provide a detailed document with the bare minimum technical requirements. In general, though, you will need:
- (Preferred) The Farplay.io app. This app is free to download for students. In order to get the best experience, you will need headphones that plug into your computer, a microphone (can be built into the headphones), and a direct link to your router. This page provides set-up information.
- A device (computer, tablet, or phone) that can use Original Sound via Zoom. All Apple, Windows, and Android products are capable of this setting. Chromebooks are not and cannot be used for voice lessons. An external microphone, headphones, and a direct link to your router are preferred, but not a requirement. If your sessions include an online accompanist or any specialist coaching, you will need Farplay.io installed.
- A working camera. These can be built into your device or external.
- A separate device to play your backing tracks. You will be required to play the backing tracks for your songs. These are typically mp3s or YouTube karaoke videos. These must be played on a separate device from your lesson device.
Group Class Materials
Each class listing will specify the necessary materials for the class. Unless stated otherwise in the class listing, students are expected to procure the necessary materials. Art classes typically include a preferred list materials and acceptable alternatives, but if a student cannot find something on the list, they are encouraged to contact Air & Ink Studio for assistance.
Recordings
Private Lessons
Recordings can be made via Farplay.io or Zoom upon request. Recordings are shared privately with the student via a shared Google Drive folder. Files remain available for 3 weeks after the lesson before they are deleted.
Group Art & Music Classes
Classes will be recorded using Zoom. Unless otherwise stated, recordings will be made available to attendees for 7 days after the conclusion of class.
