Other than the exceptions under b above, if a student chooses to participate in an outside concert or rehearsal which conflicts with a private lesson, he or she will forfeit the lesson, and the lesson will not be made up. d. Students will be permitted to leave any rehearsal to attend a scheduled private lesson and then return to the rehearsal. II. School cancellations a. If a teacher needs to reschedule a lesson for any reason, he or she will do so in consultation with the family to arrange a date and time that is mutually convenient. b.
