In-Home Lessons
MagicMusic.com was the first organization to match Music Teachers of ALL different types of instruments with Students for private in-your-home lessons!
Our Teachers are experienced teaching ALL ages and ALL skill levels, beginners to advanced!
Magic Music selects only the most masterful and professional Music Teachers for our music program. Our Teachers are some of the most fun, caring, patient, and educated in town, and have extensive teaching and performance experience. Most of Magic Music’s Teachers have Bachelor, Master, or PhD Degrees in music, and are recipients of numerous prestigious awards and scholarships. Our experienced selection process has ensured that most of Magic Music’s Students stay with the first Teacher we match them with for many years!
Feel free to contact us about enrolling and being charged on a per-lesson basis. Magic Music charges $85.00 per hour for this type of service (with a One-Hour minimum requirement per lesson). Annual enrollment fees apply.
Magic Music In-Home Lesson & Billing Policies
In order to provide the best service possible, it is important that
every client and student fully understand and agree with the
policies of Magic Music.
Our website is updated daily, so please be sure to stay tuned to our
site as often as possible! Lesson policies are subject to updates at
any time. A student's initial and continued enrollment in the Magic
Music school indicates the client and student acceptance of the
Magic Music policies.
Online enrollment is open 365 days per year. There are no contracts
to sign and no long-term commitments. Our staff of teachers can
accommodate most student schedules, day or night, and teach 7 days
per week. Let us know what days and times are best for you so we can
assign a teacher who can accommodate your schedule. Once your
enrollment is complete, we will assign a teacher to you and have the
teacher contact you directly, usually within one to seven days in
order to set a schedule. We will also email you the teacher contact
info so you can always have his or her info handy in case you ever
need to cancel or re-schedule a lesson in the future. If you do not
receive our enrollment confirmation email from us, please check your
spam mailbox and spam filters, and/or email us so we can re-send it
to you. Students are under no obligation to continue lessons with
the same teacher as students may choose to continue their music
studies with a different teacher from our program at any time.
Magic Music will try to match you with one of our teachers, but due
to the high demand for our teachers and other factors, Magic Music makes no promise or
guarantee that a teacher will always be available to match your
location and schedule.
Once a teacher is assigned, students and parents (if applicable),
are expected to communicate directly with their Magic Music teachers
during the first lesson and on an ongoing basis to agree upon
short-term and long-term learning goals, including those pertaining
to style of music to be learned, comprehension, theory, practice
times, music learning materials to be purchased, etc. From the very
beginning, all students will simultaneously learn to play their
instrument and learn to read music and music theory.
Students are always encouraged to learn the music styles and music
songs/pieces that they enjoy the most.
It is not unusual for customers to wish to schedule music lessons
for additional family members some time after a first student is
enrolled in our program. In these cases, the customer must submit an
additional online enrollment form or email our office to officially
enroll each additional student. (It is not sufficient to only let
your teacher know about the additional enrollments).
Magic Music offers private one-on-one lessons for the best quality
instruction. Since no two students learn music at the same pace, and
since no two students practice the exact same amount in-between
lessons, Magic Music does not offer semi-private or group lessons.
Students who wish to prepare for and enter various types of music
competitions are welcome to do so with the help of their Magic Music teachers
upon specific request directly to their teachers. Students and clients are welcome
to coordinate with their Magic Music teachers directly to contact local, state, national,
and international music associations for assistance with competitions.
Magic Music offers optional music concerts (recitals) that are held at the end of the Fall,
Spring, and Summer semesters. Students are encouraged to attend and perform at
the Student Concerts, but are not required to perform or attend. Please stay
tuned to the NEWS page of our website for the latest concert dates, times, and
locations. Please note that as a courtesy to the students and
teachers performing, cell phones, infants, and toddlers are not allowed in the
concert halls.
Our tuition payment terms are on a monthly basis, not on a
per-lesson basis. Once a day of the week is chosen for ongoing
lessons, each student will receive either 4 or 5 lessons per month,
depending on the amount of times that particular day falls during
the weeks in that month. The student and teacher will create an
advanced schedule for all lessons on the calendar for each month
which will also indicate Holidays and Vacations. Holidays will
include the weeks of New Years Eve, New Years Day, Easter, Fourth of July,
Memorial Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc. During a
holiday month, students will have a minimum of 3 lessons. It is
understood that the months where students receive 5 lessons adjust
for the months where students receive 3 lessons due to
holidays.
All initial schedules as well as future scheduling changes are made
between the student and the teacher directly rather than the student
and our office staff. All students and clients must email and call
their teachers directly in order to cancel or change a lesson. Do
not contact the Magic Music office to cancel or change a scheduled
lesson. Please call your Magic Music Teacher directly.
*Our system charges students for 4 lessons per month.
*Lessons missed by Students are non-refundable.
*When Students have vacations scheduled, we ask that the Students please email our office
before the first day of the vacation month in order to adjust / pro-rate the charges during vacation
months.
*If and when a Teacher gives a 5th week lesson during a month that has 5 weeks, our system
tracks the 5th week lessons and the Teachers apply the 5th week as a make-up lesson for a
future holiday week off.
*The Teachers and Students are asked to please communicate to come to a mutual agreement
as to which holiday weeks to apply the past and future 5th week lessons to.
*Also, if the Teachers and Students prefer, the Teachers can simply give a flat 4 lessons per
month.
PAYMENT
Tuition for each month is pre-paid at the beginning of that same
month by credit card. Visa, MasterCard, Discover, & American Express
cards are accepted. Magic Music does not accept Cash or Checks. Our
system will automatically charge your account during the first week
of the month. Payment is due by the 10th of every month. Even though
the number of lessons may vary from month to month, the tuition will
be the same. When a student's first lesson with Magic Music occurs
in the middle of a month, the student will only be charged a
pro-rated amount to cover the lessons and weeks in that time frame,
with regular billing beginning during the first week of the
following month. Students may arrange in advance for a more flexible
class and billing schedule during months when vacations are planned
by emailing our offices before the first day of the vacation month.
Due to the high demand for our teachers, and since many of our
teachers are completely booked, a student who takes off for more
than two weeks may not be guaranteed a spot with the same teacher
upon return. Students are therefore encouraged to continue lessons
during the entire summer if the students wish to continue with the
same teachers during the following Fall semester. A cancelled lesson
by the customer is billable. A cancelled lesson by the teacher can
be re-scheduled with a make-up lesson or can be deducted from
customer's bill on the following month's invoice if there is no
substitute teacher. If a lesson is missed due to inclement weather,
the student and the teacher should arrange for a make-up lesson. If
a make-up lesson due to inclement weather cannot be arranged, the
student will receive a credit for the lesson missed on the following
month's invoice. A late fee of $20.00 will be added to the next
statement if tuition was received after the 10th of the month. Two
consecutive months of late payment will be grounds for Magic Music
to cancel all future lessons. Please be sure that your credit card
account number and expiration date on file are always current.
Failure to receive an invoice for goods or services does not waive
customer responsibility to pay current amount due on time, and does
not waive late fee obligations. All past due invoices may be
forwarded by Magic Music to the District Attorney's Office for Theft
of Services, and forwarded to an outside Collections Firm for
Collection Processing.
If you ever have any questions regarding your payments or billing
please email our offices directly as our teachers do not handle or
discuss payment issues.
FEES
A non-refundable enrollment fee of $35 applies for each student and
is due after each student has been successfully matched with a
teacher and has had the first lesson. The enrollment fee is again
applied every September at the beginning of each Fall Semester (for
students who enrolled on or after 10/14/08). There will be a
separate venue charge of $15.00 per student for all concerts that
students perform in. Books, instruments and other learning materials
can be rented or purchased by the student through Magic Music. Once
the student and the teacher agree upon instruments and learning
materials to be rented or purchased, the teacher will place an order
through our offices. Our offices will in turn conveniently charge
the student's account for the learning materials.
BILLING
Computerized monthly statements can be emailed or mailed to clients
the first week of each month if requested. Payment is due by the
10th of every month. Past due payments will incur a $20 late fee.
MISSED LESSONS
Lessons missed by the teacher will be re-scheduled if there is no
substitute teacher. Lessons missed by students will not be
re-scheduled or deducted.
CANCELLATION
Client must contact the Magic Music office if client wishes to
discontinue taking lessons. Our office requires a two-week written
notice; otherwise the remaining tuition is non-refundable. Under
special circumstances, client may be asked to discontinue lessons
with Magic Music. In this case, client will be refunded the
remaining tuition fee. If client fails to pay tuition fees, no
additional lessons will be provided. Magic Music may immediately
cancel all future lessons if any student or client behaves in a
disrespectful manner towards any teacher or staff member of Magic
Music.
TEACHERS
All Magic Music Teachers have undergone and passed background
checks. Students under the age of 18 must have a parent or guardian
home during the entire duration of the lesson. Teachers cannot teach
in student homes where smoking occurs inside of the home. In order
for our teachers to provide the best quality lessons, the area in
which lessons are held must be free of sound from televisions,
radios, telephones, computers, other persons in the home, etc. In
the event that your teacher cannot arrive during the scheduled
lesson time, Magic Music may assign a substitute teacher to cover
the scheduled lesson.
