Official Policies
  At The Music Zoo, we are proud to offer the highest quality music lessons in the Queens/Long Island area. All of our lessons are taught on a one-to-one basis so that each student gets an individual learning plan catered to his/her specific needs. To ensure that our instructional center continues to be the best it can be, we ask that all our students and parents read and adhere to the policies below.  

Cancellations and Rescheduling

  Once on our schedule, your lesson will take place once a week. You will keep that day and time on a continuous basis. If you are unable to attend a scheduled lesson, please contact our lesson coordinator as soon as possible. We allow for rescheduling of cancelled lessons, but to be eligible you must notify us of your cancellation at least 24 hours in advance of your lesson time. You can call us at (718)631-9292 to speak with the lesson coordinator or to leave a voicemail after business hours. You can also email us at lessons@themusiczoo.com.

A cancelled lesson may be rescheduled to any available time on our schedule except your own regular time slot. In other words, the payment already made for the cancelled lesson cannot be moved forward to your next unpaid appointment. The rescheduled appointment must be a unique day or time above and beyond your regularly scheduled lesson. We will work with you to find a convenient time for your make-up lesson.

Please try to avoid canceling your lesson on the day it is scheduled –you will be charged and also forfeit the right to reschedule that lesson. If we don’t hear from you at all, we reserve the right to remove you from the schedule. We must be specifically notified in accordance with the cancellation policy if you should like to be completely removed from the schedule.
 
Payment
  Lessons at The Music Zoo are paid for on a monthly basis, with payment being taken on the first scheduled lesson date of each calendar month for each weekly lesson contained in that month. This monthly fee may be automatically billed to any major credit card, or, you may pay monthly at the counter using credit card, cash, or personal check (returned checks subject to $35 fee).

Your time slot will remain intact from month to month, so please do not assume that if you have not paid for the upcoming month that you are not scheduled. You’ll have your time slot until you explicitly instruct us to remove your name from it.
 
About Us
  All of the teachers at The Music Zoo have attained a minimum of a Bachelor’s Degree from an accredited college or university, and uphold a high standard of professionalism with all students. One of the reasons our teachers are so proficient is that they are also busy performers. We do our very best to provide consistency, but in the event that your regular teacher is unable to be present on a particular day, we will provide a substitute from our pool of qualified instructors.

The Music Zoo is an independent corporation which does not operate according to the schedule of the public/private school system. We are open during all school breaks, and will remain open on snow days unless we see fit to close the store. We will do our best to notify you of a store closure. In the event you choose not to attend lessons due to the weather, you will be charged in accordance with our cancellation policy.

Thank you for choosing to study at The Music Zoo, we hope it is a rewarding experience for you. If you have any questions at all, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
