How are lessons charged (SF)?

At Exploring Music San Francisco, we ask you to pay up front on a monthly basis. On the first of each month you receive an invoice for the upcoming month’s scheduled lessons. For example, if your lessons are on Tuesdays and there are 5 Tuesdays that month, you’ll be invoiced for the 5 upcoming lessons.

When you attend a lesson, that lesson is charged to your account and the amount is deducted from your balance. If you need to skip a lesson, simply let us know at least 24 hours in advance and that lesson will not be charged. Any remaining balance is carried forward to the following month.
