Go Guitar Lessons – Virtual Lessons: Cancellation & Attendance Policy
Effective September 2026 – June 2027
How Secured Spots Work
When you work with us, you are securing a weekly time slot for the entire duration.
This means:
- Your spot is reserved exclusively for you each week, even if you are unavailable for a lesson.
- No other student will be placed in your spot during your term, regardless of attendance.
- Your commitment helps keep scheduling consistent for teachers and other clients.
Because your spot is secured, our cancellation and vacation policies ensure fairness for both clients and teachers, while preserving the value of your commitment.
Term Calendar (2025/2026)
- Fall: Sept 8 – Dec 19
- Winter: Jan 5 – Apr 4
- Spring: Apr 5 – Jun 27
- Summer: Jul 6 – Sept 5 (opt-in only)
Full Term students auto-roll into the next term unless they notify us otherwise, with the except of Summer, which requires opt-in. We’ll email reminders before each rollover.

Tech Issues Policy
Virtual lessons are highly effective when the connection is solid.
- Students/clients are responsible for maintaining a stable Wi-Fi or hardline internet connection, and having functional camera, microphone, and device.
- If a lesson is significantly disrupted by the student’s tech/connectivity issues, it may be treated as a late cancel under the applicable tier.
- If a lesson is disrupted by the teacher’s tech issues and cannot continue, it will be handled under our Reverse Cancellation policy (below), or rescheduled when possible.
Our Unique “Reverse Cancellation” Policy (Teacher-Side)
If your teacher cancels and no substitute is available:
- <48 hrs: 25% credit to you.
- <24 hrs: 50% credit.
- <4 hrs / no-show: 100% credit (free lesson).
- If a substitute is offered and declined, there will be no fee for the lesson and no reverse credits will be given.
- Substitute-taught lessons receive a 7% discount.
Reschedules
- May be possible with sufficient notice; not guaranteed.
- Virtual reschedule within the same week is preferred when available.
- Reschedules with <48 hrs notice may carry a 25% fee if a reschedule is possible.
How to Cancel or Reschedule
How to Quit Lessons
