New Holiday Tradition: Cancelled Piano Lessons ????

???? Can You Relate? ????
To minimize cancellations during the holiday season, piano teachers can implement the following strategies:
◽Implement a Clear Attendance Policy:
Establish a written policy outlining your approach to holiday cancellations.
Distribute this policy to all families at the beginning of the year and review it before the holiday season.
◽ Offer Flexible Scheduling Options:
Create a studio-wide switch list, allowing families to exchange lesson times when conflicts arise.
Consider offering "Vacation Lessons" during exam periods or holidays, providing a more relaxed learning environment without home practice requirements.
◽Adjust Your Payment Structure
Charge per month or term instead of per lesson, ensuring a steady income regardless of individual cancellations.
Include holiday cancellations in your fee calculations, explaining that the term fee guarantees a spot in your schedule.
◽Communicate Proactively:
Send a studio letter by mid-November outlining your holiday season schedule and expectations..
◽Be Consistent and Professional
Treat your studio like a business, maintaining clear boundaries and expectations4.
Emphasize the value of consistent lessons, even during busy periods.

By implementing these strategies, piano teachers can reduce holiday cancellations while maintaining positive relationships with their students and families.
