Haha no I was talking about your above example email

So I meant in your email, does it go straight into payment policy like that? It’s good, straight to the point, but I’d imagine you’d talk about other benefits and things you offer, with payment details at the end? Just a thought

“When people who have lessons weekly are like, “Is it ok if we just postpone today’s lesson to next week?” And inside I’m like, it’s not called POSTPONING if you’re just cancelling a week!” OH MY GOD, YES. Sooo annoying!!! Haha
Nice one with the above. Ruth, I hope there’s stuff you say before that payment section?! It’s good though, straight to the point. I have my policy detailed in the invoice attached

Good for you, Kat. I am particularly loving the Welcome Pack idea! I think I will be stealing this as my 2016 resolution too!:)

@Dave – you are bang on and I live by this. It works and there are hardly any problems because everyone I teach respects this system and the fact that this is my job!
It’s like the endless debate of venues not paying musicians and treating them as if they’re doing them a favour giving them exposure etc. Why is a music teaching job any different to any other job? It drives me mad when you get people now and then who just don’t understand why they have to pay for a last minute cancelled lesson. I would rather not work with those people anyway, so it’s no loss to me, apart from the actual money lost, which I would rather pay to get rid of them anyway. People like that aren’t worth my time.
@Danny – of course there’s a human element yes (at risk of me sounding like a heartless robot above!) but that’s for those who you’ve got to know and already trust, or in the case of death or something…
