The teachers are not responsible for fielding scheduling questions. All communication regarding anything scheduling related should be done directly through
submarineschoolofmusic@gmail.com.
MAKE-UP LESSONS
Any lessons cancelled at least 24 hours ahead of the scheduled lesson will be eligible for a make-up lesson at a time convenient to the student with one of our teachers. Your make-up lesson may be with a substitute.
No more than one make up lesson per month.
The following holidays all qualify for an extra make up lesson during that month. You must reach out and reschedule before the date in order to receive a make up lesson.
Labor Day
Indigenous People’s Day
Martin Luther King Day
Memorial Day
HOLIDAYS / SCHOOL BREAKS
A calendar of school breaks can be found on our website. Holidays and school breaks are already figured into the $130 monthly rate and the cost of running the school. Please let the school know in advance if there are any extra holidays or school breaks that you will be absent for and you will be given the option of scheduling one makeup lesson. For Seton students, we do not offer makeup lessons.
WHEN YOUR TEACHER CANCELS
In most cases, when your teacher cannot be here, we will find a suitable substitute teacher and the lesson will continue as regularly scheduled. In some cases, we may need to reschedule the lesson.
COMMUNICATION AND OFFICE HOURS
Our office hours are between 9am-10am and 2:30pm-6:30pm, meaning emails will be responded to in a timely manner during that window. Day-of cancellations should be cancelled through email, though not eligible for a make-up lesson. All communication, should be done directly through our
submarineschoolofmusic@gmail.com email. For urgent questions our school phone # is:

The Submarine School of Music provides tuition assistance on a sliding scale for qualifying students, based on household income, family size, and special financial considerations. The funding will come from community fundraising. Scholarships last for one year and then must be reapplied for in January. If you are already paying less than $130 a month or would like to be considered for a future scholarship, please indicate so below and you will be sent a scholarship application.
We offer lessons in July and August. Students who continue lessons through the summer will be guaranteed a spot in the fall and will be given first choice on the fall schedule.
