After a successful introductory lesson, families can register for a semester of private lessons and the end-of-semester recital.

Early Bird Registration
Introductory Lesson
When registering for private lessons, students commit to a consistent schedule with their instructor and receive one schedule absence per semester. Subsequently, students are expected to attend all scheduled lessons and to give as much notice as possible when a cancellation is necessary.

Excused Absences
-
All students are entitled to one excused absence (requiring 24 hour notice) per semester to be made up by the instructor. Students looking to cancel a lesson and have it count as excused should call the school at 929-288-1833, or email info@keystosuccessnyc.com 24 hours prior to their lesson time. A private lesson that is cancelled on the same day as the scheduled lesson will be excused only in the case of student illness, so long as notice to the office is given by 11am on the day of the lesson for weekday lessons, or 9am for weekend lessons; OR in the event of a verified emergency. A planned absence in observance of a religious holiday must be planned at least 7 days in advance by emailing info@keystosuccessnyc.com and will be counted as an excused absence.
-
-
Unexcused Absences
-
Aside from the one excused absence per semester, any additional lessons missed by the student will not be made up. All lessons cancelled with less than 24 hours notice will be considered unexcused and will not be eligible to be made up.
-
-
Makeup Lessons
-
Keys To Success designates a Make-Up Week at the end of the semester for the use of making up lessons due to excused absences, as well as creating other opportunities during scheduled days off to suit a variety of scheduling needs. Students should schedule a time for a make-up lesson directly with the instructor. Student cancellation of an agreed upon make-up lesson will not be made up or credited. In the event a make up lesson cannot meet due to availability, students and faculty should reach out to the school for assistance.
