Inclimate Weather & Closures Policy
In the circumstance that there is a weather event (such as snow or other such conditions), that make it unsafe for Forte to be open, a message will be left on our voice mail system the morning of the event to let parents know if we will be open or not. As a rule, if Forte is open, we will not give makeup lessons or refunds for any lessons missed. Extreme circumstances will be assessed on a case by case basis. If Forte is closed due to weather, as time allows, arrangements will be made to makeup as many lessons as are possible. NO REFUNDS
can be given for lessons cancelled by Forte due to the weather.

Just A Reminder About Illness
With cold and flu season coming around, we just wanted to remind that you can cancel your lesson if you need to. Cancelling your lesson by 7:00pm the night before the scheduled lesson makes you eligible for a makeup lesson. Once a semester, you are allowed an emergency cancellation at any point 1 hour before your scheduled lesson time. This cancelled lesson will be eligible for a makeup lesson as well. We strongly urge parents to keep their children home if they are sick with "flu like" symptoms. Rei at the front desk is there to help you reschedule your missed lesson(s).

ARTWORK ON THE STUDENT BLOG
Our music computer lab has many fun and informative music games for our students to use before or after their lesson. However, occasionally, some of them move through all of the games and/or just want a bit of a break from them. So instead, we've found, that a number of our students are drawing amazing works of art in the paint program. There were so many great ones, that we thought it would be fun to share them with you. So we've posted them on our student blog.
CLICK HERE to see them for yourself. You might even see your OWN work of art up there.
