Refunds, tax credits and cancellations
Withdrawing from private lessons
Lesson withdrawal requests must be submitted to your instructor directly. Non-attendance does not constitute a withdrawal. A processing fee may apply. See your instructor’s studio policy for details.
Make-up lessons and cancellation policy
If your instructor cancels a lesson, they will discuss with you rescheduling options. Your instructor is under no obligation to make up lessons you have missed or cancelled. See your instructor’s studio policy for details.
Tax credits
All private music lessons are non-credit and therefore do not qualify for a T2202A tax receipt. Arts credits have been replaced by the Canada Child Benefit.
