Withdrawal Policy
Enrollment in classes or lessons at Lifesong is through the end of May.  The Front Desk must be notified of withdrawal from any class or lesson prior to the beginning of the month in order to stop tuition for the next month.  All withdrawals are written in our “Add/Drop” book at the time of notification.  Failure to properly notify the Front Desk will result in tuition continuing to be charged to your account.  By enrolling in a class or private lesson, you have reserved a spot that could be released for someone else.  Thank you for your cooperation and understanding of this policy.
