Why does Songbirds require 30 days’ notice to cancel music lessons?
Our teachers are the heart of Songbirds. They dedicate their time, energy, and care to each student every week — and just like any professional, they rely on a consistent income to support themselves and their families. When a student withdraws suddenly, that time slot and income are immediately lost.
By requiring 30 days’ notice, we’re able to give our instructors stability and respect for their work while also allowing time to find another student to fill the spot. This notice period also gives teachers time to adjust their finances and schedules in case the spot remains unfilled. This policy helps us take care of the amazing teachers who make Songbirds such a special place to learn and grow.
