• I understand that this 2024/2025 Academic Term Enrollment Form, the Institute’s Privacy Policy, and Verifiable Parental Consent Form (the “Institute Documents”) must be signed and returned by me to the Institute prior to and as a condition of enrollment. Together, these Institute Documents create the full legal contract among me, my child, and the Institute, which may not be modified except in writing signed by me and the Institute.

• Lesson times must be requested online at the InternationalViolinInstitute.com and are subject to availability and approval by the Institute.

• Payment for the "2024/2025 Academic Term" should be made online at InternationalViolinInstitute.com and is due once my child’s lesson time has been approved.

Refunds for consultations will follow the principles of this paragraph.

CONDUCT OF LESSONS

• I will make sure my child is present and ready to play at the time set for the lesson to begin, and that the lesson time will not be extended to accommodate my child’s late start.

• I understand that I may not attend my child’s lessons.

• I consent to other students at the Institute watching, attending, or participating in my child’s lessons.

• I understand that learning to play the violin requires the development of very-precise physical skills and musical comprehension. I acknowledge that because of this the Instructor will be required to touch my child’s fingers, hands, arms, shoulders, etc. in an appropriate manner as part of the instruction, and to lead my child through physical warm-up and ear-training exercises. In addition, I understand that lessons may consist not only of time playing the violin, but also listening to music and watching musical performances (live, streamed or recorded), engaging in ear-training games and exercises, instruction in music theory and history, and learning miscellaneous skills at the Instructor’s discretion. Most of all, learning to play the violin should be fun!

THIRD-PARTY LOCATIONS, SECURITY, AND EMERGENCIES

• I understand that instruction at the Institute may occur at third-party locations (the “third party locations”) such as the Creation Kids Village School and the Montessori Academy of Celebration. While at the Institute my child will be protected by the security system maintained by these third-party locations, which are responsible for the security of their premises. Further, I acknowledge that I have provided, or will provide prior to my child’s attendance, such consent to the third-party location as they require relating to my child’s security or emergency medical treatment, first aid, or transportation to a hospital or medical facility as a result of illness or injury associated with my child's participation in activities at these premises. Further, with respect to the Institute, I consent to any such security measures, emergency treatment, first aid and/or transportation that may be provided to my child and understand that the Institute will not be responsible for any costs associated with any of the foregoing.

• I understand that my child may be photographed, live streamed, or recorded via audio and/or video device at the Institute or at Institute events for security and other purposes, including pedagogic training and evaluation, and I consent to same.
• I understand that my child may perform their music at third-party locations where students of International Violin Institute are invited to perform.

• I authorize the Institute to publish on the Web or Social Media or otherwise release any pictures, live streams, or recordings of my child as a participant in the Institute and I understand that these may be used for promotional purposes.
