How does billing work?

Clients and students of MCML can expect to receive an invoice at the beginning of every month of lessons. Billing will reflect the amount of scheduled lessons for each month. Invoices will come on behalf of our payment system known as “Zoho Books” and the payment options the service offers. If the balance remains unpaid for two weeks after the initial invoice has been sent, lessons will be suspended until the outstanding amount is settled.

In the event of inclement weather, sickness or other general needs for cancellation, lessons can be prorated into the next month or in some cases reimbursed. Please electronically sign and refer to our cancellation policy for more details. You will receive this in an email from DocuSign.
If you have questions about our service or if there has been a change in your lesson status, please email us at info@monmouthcountymusiclessons.com
