Stop Losing Students (and Income) to a Policy That Doesn't Protect You

Does this sound familiar?
You've had parents "forget" your cancellation policy. Students who disappear without notice. Tuition collected inconsistently. Maybe you've even undercharged for years because you weren't sure how to set things up. None of that is your fault — you just needed the right system from the start.

The perfect starting policy. Everything you need to run a professional, protected studio from day one.
For just $25 more, the Advanced template pays for itself the first time a referral books a lesson.
New studio year coming up? Back-to-school enrollment starts in July. Get your policy in place before your first new student signs up — not after a difficult situation forces your hand.
Built from 25+ years of real studio experience
This isn't a generic template from a Google search. Every section was written by a music teacher who has used these exact policies across multiple studios — and learned the hard way what happens when you don't have them in place.
Questions? Here's what teachers often ask.
I already have a policy — do I still need this?
If your current policy has any gaps, you're leaving yourself exposed. This template covers sections most DIY policies miss entirely — especially around missed lessons and discontinuation notice. Many teachers who purchase say they find 3–5 sections they hadn't thought to include.
How long will customization take?
Most teachers finish in under an hour. The tutorial video walks you through every section, and there's very little guesswork — the template tells you exactly what to fill in and what to consider.
Basic or Advanced — which should I choose?
If you're just starting out, Basic gets you fully protected. If you're ready to grow — or you want your policy to actively support retention and referrals — Advanced is worth the extra $25 and pays for itself quickly.
Is this compatible with my computer?
Yes — it works in Microsoft Word on Windows and Mac, and in Apple Pages. Both formats are included in your download.
