Music School Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Enrollment & Scheduling

1. Is there a monthly contract?
   There is no monthly contract, however, we recommend that lessons are taken for at least 3-6 months to allow you or your child to get into a routine and develop a new skill. The only condition we have with canceling lessons is that we ask you to give us at least three weeks notice (when possible) to allow us to fill the Instructor's schedule more easily so they do not have a gap.
   
   

2. How do I enroll my child (or myself) in lessons?
   You can enroll yourself for a trial lesson or lessons through our website: lumusicacademy.com, or we can do it for you over the phone at: 682-271-9748

7. How do you handle rescheduling or makeup lessons?

If we are closed due to inclement weather, we have certain Saturdays throughout the year reserved for make-ups.
