No problem! You can drop or change bands after each show. Because we take so much time matching bands, we require 30 days notice for a drop or day/time change. To protect the quality of the band experience, there are no drops or changes available in the 7 weeks before a show.
Ex: You sign up for a Fall band but you want to take a break or try a different band AFTER the Nov 14th show. Just let us know by October 14th that you will be dropping your band or are interested in switching to a different band so we can open up your spot to new students for the Winter Session and get you set up with your new band. If you want to drop or change your band BEFORE the Nov 14 show you would need to let us know by Sept 27. You will only be charged for the rehearsals you have attended.
You will find that the NYC Guitar School Community is an environment which supports you in being your best. Whether you are honing your skills in private lessons or in our lead guitar, vocal or other classes…or when you are cheering on the other bands…or taking advantage of our open mics and student showcases…you will find that you are surrounded by positive people who are growing as musicians and as people. In fact, many of your classmates on stage will have started as Absolute Beginners. And some of your classmates will end up playing in bands on their own, outside the school. Does this sound like it might be the right place for you? Then…it probably is!
Our mission is Coaching Personal Greatness One Lesson At A Time. We believe that each of us is capable of more. By learning and improving in music, we not only experience the fun, connection and excitement of playing, but we live one of life’s greatest lessons, “what you put in is what you get out.” Playing music helps us all be calmer, have better focus, be better at accomplishing great things over time. Also, playing guitar is super fun!
On the 15th of each month. Your first month’s tuition is charged at sign-up and the next charge will run October 15th, 2022. If we don’t have your card on file, we will call you in September to set up the recurring charge.
Average is 4 classes a month. Shows count as a weekly class. December 15-Jan 15 payment is pro-rated to two sessions only.
We match students by level and instrument. We also try to match musical interest as much as possible.
We will work hard to move you to a day/time that works! If we aren’t able to, you will only be charged for rehearsals you have attended.
