Studio registration is for the full year program. Studio fees will be prorated for students entering the program during the year. The registration process is completed through an online form. Complete studio information and documents will be available through the registration portal. 

Registration Fee

The studio registration fee is $80 (one child) and $100 (two+ children). The registration fee is $100 for all new students. The registration fee is due at the time of registration. Fees will be accepted by e-transfer or cheque, payable to Debbie Hammond. The studio registration fee is non-refundable.

Studio Fees

All studio fees are payable by e-transfer to hammondsuzukistudio@gmail.com or by post-dated cheque series, payable to Debbie Hammond. 

Studio Fees are comprehensive, including program fees and lesson fees.

The studio calendar follows the rhythm of the OCSB & OCDSB school year. 

There will be no lessons or group classes during the Christmas Break- December 20, 2025 through January 4, 2025 inclusive. 

There will be no lessons or group classes during March Break- March 14, 2026 through March 22, 2026 inclusive. 

There will be no group classes on long weekends with Holiday Mondays- Thanksgiving (Oct 13), Family Day (Feb 16), Easter (April 6), Victoria Day (May 18). 

Please see the studio calendar for complete schedule and event dates. 


Holiday Lesson Policy

If you have requested a Monday lesson time, be advised that there are 4 holiday Mondays throughout the studio year. You will be offered the option of rescheduling 2 holiday Monday lessons during the year. The studio policies for student-cancelled and teacher-cancelled lessons apply to all other lessons.  


I will confirm the lesson schedule with all students/families one week prior to the holiday. Once the lesson has been confirmed, the studio policies for student-cancelled and teacher-cancelled lessons apply. 


Student Cancelled Lessons

No makeup lessons will be offered for any student-cancelled lessons. If your child is ill or needs to be away for any reason, please notify me by email or phone call as soon as you are able. If your child is ill, but well enough to have a lesson, you may request an online lesson. Please remember your lesson time is reserved for you and your child weekly. 

Teacher Cancelled Lessons

Makeup lessons will be scheduled for all teacher-cancelled lessons. Should I need to cancel lessons, I will notify students and parents by email. I will provide as much notice as possible. Makeup lessons will be scheduled outside the regular studio schedule (i.e. - designated makeup lesson days). If makeup days are not possible during the regular year, any outstanding lessons will be scheduled during designated makeup lesson weeks. 

Designated makeup lesson weeks: 

  • December 15 to 19, 2025
  • June 8 to June 12, 2026
  • June 15 to 19, 2026

Makeup Lesson Dates

There will be 2 weeks at the end of the lesson year designated as Makeup Lesson Weeks. This is June 9-20, 2025. During these weeks, I will schedule all students owed lessons into their regular lesson time. Adjustments can be made to accommodate any special events that frequently occur in June.

Weather Related Online Lessons

In the case of bad weather (ice storms, heavy snowfalls, etc.), you may request an online lesson. Please use your best judgement in determining the safety of attending lessons in person. This is meant to be a safety-net measure to decrease student cancelled lessons.   

Health & Safety Policies

If you are unable to attend an in person lesson because your child does not meet the COVID self-screening criteria or your family has been asked to self- isolate or quarantine in accordance with public health guidelines, you may request an online lesson. The option for online lessons will always be available, however, if this option is a change to the planned lesson method, please contact me in advance to confirm your online lesson request.
