Exploring Music Studio Policy
Currently Enrolled Private Students: Mattix Music Studio provides students ongoing enrollment and your lesson time will continue indefinitely unless you request to change times or we get 30-days notice of your withdrawal. If you are currently on Mondays at 4pm, your summer lesson time will be Mondays at 4pm and your lesson time for the next school year will be Mondays at 4pm. If you need to change lesson times, simply contact our office for other options. Students are automatically enrolled in recurring weekly lessons every week during the summer at their usually scheduled lesson time. Parents need to submit a summer schedule form indicating any weeks that should be taken off your student’s schedule by May 10th. On May 1oth, whatever lessons are on your schedule will be charged to the payment method on file. Summer tuition is refundable until June 1, 2023. Students must purchase a minimum of 6 lessons (or the hourly equivalent) during the summer in order to retain their lesson time in the following school year. There will be no need to re-enroll for the fall and your lesson time will continue with your teacher in the fall. Your family will love being able to plan ahead and schedule your other activities around music lessons that stay the same! If students purchase fewer than 6 lessons during the summer, they must re-enroll for a private lesson time on August 1st and your spot is not guaranteed. If you will not purchase any summer lessons, you need to give us 30-days notice of your withdrawal by May 1, 2023. You will need to re-enroll for a lesson time on August 1st and your spot is not guaranteed. New Students: Once you book 6 or more summer lesson times, you will keep that lesson time through the summer and into the next school year. There will be no need to re-enroll in lessons for the fall as your lesson time is ongoing indefinitely. If you would like to withdraw at any time, submit a 30-days notice to our office. If you purchase fewer than 6 summer lessons and want to continue in the fall, you will need to re-enroll on August 1st. Financial: Mattix Music Studio accepts credit card, ACH or check payments and lessons must be prepaid in order to reserve your lesson times. Summer private lessons will take place between June 5 and August 25, 2023. Refunds for summer lesson tuition are offered until June 1, 2023. No make-ups for unused lessons will be given or credited past August 13, 2022. A bank fee of $25 will be assessed for any returned check. Music books are not included in the tuition.
Rescheduling: Students may cancel and reschedule lessons during the summer and families are encouraged to use our online booking system. Students must give the teacher at least 24 hours notice in advance in order to reschedule a lesson. Lessons canceled with less than 24-hours notice will not be rescheduled, refunded or made up at another time. Please contact our office or your teacher to cancel a lesson, especially a lesson canceled on short notice. Group Classes: Families may attend the same group class at a different class time, provided there is an available spot. If you would like to book a make-up class, please contact our office. Group class tuition is refundable until your start date.2023 Summer Private Lesson Studio Policy

Assumption of the Risk and Waiver of Liability Relating to Coronavirus/COVID-19 The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization. COVID-19 is extremely contagious and is believed to spread mainly from person-to-person contact. As a result, federal, state, and local governments and federal and state health agencies recommend social distancing and have, in many locations, prohibited the congregation of groups of people. Mattix Music Inc. has put in place preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19; however, we cannot guarantee that you or your child(ren) will not become infected with COVID-19. Further, attending music classes could increase your risk and your child(ren)’s risk of contracting COVID-19. By enrolling in music lessons or classes, I acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assume the risk that my child(ren) and I may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 by attending music classes and that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability, and death. I understand that the risk of becoming exposed to or infected by COVID-19 at Mattix Music Inc. may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of myself and others, including, but not limited to, Mattix Music Inc. employees, volunteers, and class participants and their families. I voluntarily agree to assume all of the foregoing risks and accept sole responsibility for any injury to my child(ren) or myself (including, but not limited to, personal injury, disability, and death), illness, damage, loss, claim, liability, or expense, of any kind, that I or my child(ren) may experience or incur in connection with my child(ren)’s attendance at Mattix Music Inc. or participation in music classes (“Claims”). On my behalf, and on behalf of my children, I hereby release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless Mattix Music Inc., its employees, agents, and representatives, of and from the Claims, including all liabilities, claims, actions, damages, costs or expenses of any kind arising out of or relating thereto. I understand and agree that this release includes any Claims based on the actions, omissions, or negligence of Mattix Music Inc., its employees, agents, and representatives, whether a COVID-19 infection occurs before, during, or after participation in any music class. Assumption of the Risk and Waiver of Liability & Photo Release I, student/parent/guardian, for and in consideration of the payment to me of music lessons, classes and activities, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, do hereby release and forever discharge Mattix Music Inc., their agents, independent contractors, employees, successors and assigns, and their respective heirs, personal representatives, affiliates, successors and assigns, and any and all persons, firms or corporations liable or who might be claimed to be liable, whether or not herein named, none of whom admit any liability to the undersigned, but all expressly denying liability, from any and all claims, demands, damages, actions, causes of action or suits of any kind or nature whatsoever, which I now have or may hereafter have, arising out of or in any way relating to any and all injuries and damages of any and every kind, to both person and property, and also any and all injuries and damages that may develop in the future, as a result of or in any way relating to the following: music lessons, classes and activities, including exposure to contagious disease due to teacher-to-student proximity or student-to-student proximity. It is understood and agreed that this payment is made and received in full and complete settlement and satisfaction the causes of action, claims and demands mentioned herein; that this Release contains the entire agreement between the parties; and that the terms of this Agreement are contractual and not merely a recital. Furthermore, this Release shall be binding upon the undersigned, and respective heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives, successors and assigns. This Release shall be subject to and governed by the laws of the State of Illinois. This Release has been read and fully understood by the undersigned and has been explained to me and goes into effect upon the submission of this form. I grant to Mattix Music Inc., its representatives and employees the right to take photographs of me, my family members, and my property in connection with music lessons and classes. I authorize Mattix Music Inc., its assigns and transferees to copyright, use and publish the same in print and/or electronically. I agree that Mattix Music Inc. may use such photographs of me without my name and for any lawful purpose, including for example such purposes as publicity, illustration, advertising, and Web content. Mattix Music may use pictures of students to post on social media but never tags its students or mentions the name of any family members without explicit written permission. I understand and agree to the releases above.Waiver
