Temporary Lesson Policies for Miss Julisa's Students (Summer–Fall 2025)

Heart Beats Music School

Lesson Structure

  • Weekly private lessons will continue as 30-, 45-, or 60-minute sessions, according to your student’s previous schedule with Miss Julisa.

  • Lessons will take place at Heart Beats Music School while Miss Julisa is on maternity leave. We are honored to support your student's musical growth during this special time! Those who have made previous arrangements can do lessons over Zoom, although we strongly encourage in person lessons!

Scheduling

  • Students enrolled through this temporary program will begin lessons the first week of August 2025, or earlier if Miss Julisa begins her maternity leave before that time. If her leave begins early, Heart Beats Music School will contact families who indicated scheduling flexibility to confirm availability and offer an earlier start date. Scheduling preferences will be honored as closely as possible based on teacher openings.

  • Schedule Request Deadline: To ensure we can accommodate as many preferences as possible, please submit your registration and schedule request no later than June 15th. After that date, we will continue to accept students on a first-come, first-served basis, but availability may be limited and schedule preferences are not guaranteed.

Tuition and Billing

  • Tuition Rates:

    • 30-minute lessons: $165/month

    • 45-minute lessons: $215/month

    • 60-minute lessons: $265/month

  • We are waiving the $45 registration fee for all of Miss Julisa’s students.

    • If you choose to continue lessons with us long-term after Julisa’s return, the registration fee will apply at that time.

  • Billing will be handled through My Music Staff (MMS), the same platform Julisa uses.

    • Important: You will likely need to register your portal account with a different email address than the one you use for Julisa's private studio.

  • Beginning August 2025, credit card payments will incur a 3.1% convenience fee.

    • No fee is charged for payments made via bank account (ACH transfer).

Cancellation and Withdrawal

  • If you wish to discontinue lessons with Heart Beats (whether to return to Miss Julisa or for any other reason), we require at least 14 days' written notice.

  • Tuition will continue for the duration of the 14-day notice period.

    • If the 14 days cross into a new month, tuition will be prorated accordingly.

  • Missed lessons with at least 24 hours' notice may be eligible for a make-up session (maximum of two per quarter).

  • Teacher-canceled lessons will always be made up or credited.

Materials and Books

  • If your student needs any new lesson books or materials while enrolled with us, we will order them and bill you through your My Music Staff account.

Certificate of Merit Students

  • If your student is participating in Certificate of Merit (CM), we are happy to guide them through every step of the process.

  • CM registration takes place in September, and we will ensure that students are registered properly and supported throughout their preparation.
