Please review the full policy statement at this time, at: http://www.evehubbard.com/policies.php.  

Enrollment in the program assumes acceptance of all policies. 

Please wear proper, effective masks for in-person lessons.  Bandanas and gaiters are not acceptable. 

Lessons on Zoom are available for:

  --for those of you who aren’t feeling completely healthy and 

   --any time you have problems making it to your lesson in person.

EMAIL EVE FOR THE ZOOM MEETING NUMBER AND PASSCODE.

PLEASE REVIEW THE MAKEUP POLICY, PRINTED BELOW.

LESSONS MISSED FOR CONFLICTS NOT COVERED IN THE POLICY WILL BE FORFEITED UNLESS YOU FIND ANOTHER STUDENT WHO CAN SWITCH LESSON TIMES WITH YOU.

POLICY FOR MAKEUP LESSONS: 

I have devoted a spot in the schedule to you.  And I spend a lot of time on your behalf, (group lessons, concerts, and more) that isn't tallied in your bill. It is extremely difficult to rearrange a full schedule.  I will make-up lessons under the conditions listed below. 

Please do not ask for exceptions; such discussions put a strain on our relationship. 

PLEASE USE THE TELEPHONE, voice or text, TO CANCEL LESSONS. 

I don’t check email every day and sometimes computers don’t work!

CELL:  336-580-5046. Leave messages any time. 

1) ILLNESS:  Do not come to in-person lessons sick.  I have no sick-pay.

     I have a computer connection in my studio.  If you suspect you have a cold, or worse, please call or text me and I will be sure to open my Zoom meeting room at your lesson time.  Email Eve for the Zoom meeting number and passcode.

     If I suspect I have a cold, or worse, I will not share my germs with you either!  I will let you know and we will have remote lessons.

     The Zoom meeting room number and password will be emailed to all students. 

        --If you come into my studio with an illness, I will send you away and the lesson will be forfeit.

    --If you are too sick to have a remote lesson, you may schedule a makeup IF you telephone/text me before 1:00 p.m. the day of the lesson. 

DO NOT USE EMAIL FOR SAME DAY OR NEXT DAY ISSUES.     

2) TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES: If a well-planned remote lesson has unforeseen technical problems that interrupt the lesson, we will make it up.  This does not include problems from lack of preparation, like batteries running low or setting up a long way from a router.

3) EMERGENCIES: We will reschedule in the case of emergency.

     Examples of emergencies:

    --A flat tire on your way to a lesson,

    --You or a family member has been hospitalized and you can't attend a remote lesson.

     If the difficulty doesn't interfere with a lesson on Zoom, please attend remotely at your regular time.

4)  CONFLICTS WITH REQUIRED WORK OR SCHOOL ACTIVITIES, OR MAJOR RELIGIOUS HOLIDAYS (not social events, birthdays or church picnics):  If I am notified at least one week in advance, each student may make up a total of 2 lessons per year for such conflicts.  You know these days are coming.  Please plan ahead.

5) BAD WEATHER: In the case of ice, snow, or severe storms, I will let you know whether I will be teaching in person or remotely.  If I have electrical power, I will send students an email and I will leave an announcement on the home page of my website saying whether or not I will be in my studio. I will also leave an outgoing message on my cell phone, 336-580-5046, to say if lessons will be held.  If I am teaching in my studio, you may choose either to attend in person or remotely.  Please call or text to tell me your choice.  If we don't have power and it's unsafe to drive, we'll make it up.

6) TEACHER ABSENCE:  I will make up any lessons I cancel.

7) GROUP LESSONS will not be made up.

8) If your conflict isn’t covered in the makeup policy, you may switch lesson times with someone. Notice lesson lengths & tell me about the switch. All students involved in the switch are responsible for keeping it straight
