Missed Lessons Policies for Students

Please contact us if you need to miss or cancel a lesson for any reason. You can cancel your lesson directly on the Opus1 App; call/text us at 708-246-8222 or email us at info@musicmakerstudio.com.

If you cancel your lesson before 12:00pm on your lesson day, your teacher will prepare and send a LessonMate, within 48 hours after the regular lesson time. If you do not see an email check your junk/spam mail.

If you cancel your lesson after 12:00pm or don’t show on your lesson day, you will forfeit your LessonMate lesson for the week.

Missed Lessons Policies for Teachers

If your teacher needs to cancel your lesson for any reason, our office will contact you and the teacher has the option to:

• teach an online Zoom lesson if they cannot teach in-person.

• have a substitute teacher teach in-person for them.

• schedule a make-up lesson at a later date.

What is Lesson Mate?

LessonMate is a wonderful online platform for student lesson planning. Your teacher will be able to send personalized messages, create and share videos, audio, PDF documents, links to other resources, etc., with their students during, before or after each of their lessons. These “lessons” will show up as an email.

What are the Benefits of Lesson Mate?

Consistent engagement in any activity is essential to long-term enjoyment and success. We make progress when we are consistently active. A missed lesson interrupts that process, and requires more backtracking and energy just to return to the place we were before the interruption.

Lesson Mate provides the link for keeping the learning chain intact! Your teacher will create a personalized “lesson” that reviews the previous week and looks ahead to the coming week. Video and audio recording, lesson plans, and different activities will keep your student understanding where they are at, what they are supposed to work on, new activities in which they can engage, and it keeps them connected to their teacher on their regularly scheduled lesson day!
