Student Information

Year Round Lessons
Mondays to Fridays from 3.00 PM – 8:30 PM
Saturdays by appointment only

At Zara-V Studio, we believe that working toward an achievable goal can help incentivize a student’s musical studies, so we offer multiple performance opportunities throughout the year. Musicians become better players by becoming better performers. Talk to your music teacher about scheduling your next performance!

 

FESTIVALS
The Northwest Suburban Music Teachers Association and Illinois Music Association host their student music Festivals in the fall through spring, offering piano, voice, violin, and other music instruments students the chance to perform in front of a judge and receive a competitive ranking. Talk to your music teacher at your next music lesson for more information about Festivals and Competitions.

RECITALS
Recitals are an excellent opportunity for our music students to showcase their accomplishments and share what they have learned with their friends and family. Students are not required to participate but are encouraged to do so! Recitals will be no more than one hour long and scheduled throughout the weekend. Students will be seated in order of performance and will be encouraged to dress appropriately and listen respectfully to the other student performers.

Your commitment to attending every lesson you have scheduled is not just a requirement, but a testament to the value you place on your musical journey.

Late Cancellations: If you cancel with less than 24 hours notice or are a no-show, a lesson makeup will not be granted. 

Tardiness or Showing Up Sick. Zara – V Studio observes standard teacher waiting policies. If a student is 15 minutes late, the teacher is automatically dismissed, and the lesson will be ineligible for a makeup. Students running late should call the studio and notify Zara–V Studio. If a student arrives for a lesson contagiously ill, the teacher may choose not to teach the lesson and send the student home. No credit will be issued for the missed lesson in such a case.

Teacher Cancellations: We are committed to teaching lessons to all registered students at their scheduled times. If a teacher cancels because of illness or an unforeseen conflict, a substitute will be provided, or the teacher will makeup the lesson.

WITHDRAWAL: If a student is considering discontinuing lessons, we encourage them to consult with the teacher to see if any issues can be resolved. Students can discontinue lessons before the next billing cycle (the 1st of the month). If you cancel your enrollment mid-month, no refund or credit is issued for unused or make-up lessons of return.
