Recordings are not shared publicly and are not used for marketing or promotional purposes without separate written permission from a parent or legal guardian.

-
Communicate with parents/guardians

4. Parental Consent
Because students may be minors, a parent or legal guardian must provide consent for:
-
Participation in lessons
-
Collection of student information
-
Recording of lessons for safety purposes
By enrolling a student in lessons, the parent or guardian acknowledges and accepts this privacy policy.
5. Security
Reasonable steps are taken to protect personal information and recordings from unauthorized access, including secure storage and restricted access.
6. Lesson Time and Punctuality
Respect for time helps ensure a positive experience for all students.
-
Students should arrive on time for their scheduled lesson.
-
Students who arrive more than 5 minutes late may not be permitted to attend the lesson that day, as late arrivals can disrupt the schedule for other students.
-
Lesson fees are still required for missed lessons due to late arrival.
Lessons will end at the scheduled time to respect both the instructor’s schedule and the next student’s lesson time. Students may be briefly dismissed at the end of their allotted lesson time so that the next lesson can begin promptly.
