3rd Party Payer Policies

Proof of Funds are required 3 days prior to the first day of class. Families are responsible requesting funds through their charter, as each organization has a separate and unique process. If your musician will not be continuing due to a change in funding or the end of the semester, families are required to notify the studio 10 days prior to the beginning of the next month, aligned with our studio withdrawal policy.

Our studio runs year round and does not typically close for school breaks and holidays. Families should communicate any absences to the Welcome Team and may receive a Flex Credit according to our studio cancellation policy.


Rates agreed with a charter or SDRC may differ from the monthly autopay rate on our website, because they include extra admin processing. Charters and SDRC must use agreed rates, not individual payer rates.


Curriculum is provided for instrumental students. Students should bring provided notebook and instrument ready & in tune each week.


Practice at home between classes is strongly encouraged.


Performance opportunity invitation may be offered to musicians who have shown evidence of practice and advancing in skills.

Workshops & Camps are also available for vendor funding.

Third Party Payer Information & Policies

Music Speaks Studio welcomes students funded by local charter schools, San Diego Regional Center (SDRC), and other sources. Third party families follow the same enrollment, withdrawal, and tuition policies as everyone else, and our standard Terms & Conditions also apply.

Proof of Funds & Billing

  • First month: Send proof of funds (for example, a purchase order or an approved request) 14 days before your first month of service. Example: to start February 1, send it by January 18.
  • Each month after: Proof of funds is due 3 business days before your first lesson of the month. We recommend requesting funds 10 business days ahead, because every charter's timeline is different.
  • What it must include: The musician's name, the start date, and Music Speaks Studio as the vendor.

Keeping Your Funding Active

  • Enrollment renews monthly and holds your class time until you withdraw in writing.
  • Families request the funds. Submit each renewal (monthly, by semester, or yearly, depending on your provider) and send us the approval.
  • Tell us about any change in writing at least 10 days before the 1st of the next month. That includes funding that pauses, runs out, or won't be renewed. Example: no funds for February? Tell us by January 22. We're happy to help you plan a break or switch to self-pay.
  • No notice, no funds: The student stays enrolled, and the family owes that month's tuition at the standard rate.

Withdrawals & Tuition Responsibility

  • 10-day notice: Withdraw in writing at least 10 days before the 1st of the next month at Admin@MusicSpeaksStudio.com or (619) 789-4734. We'll send you the Withdrawal Form to confirm. If notice comes late, full tuition is due for the next month.
  • Who pays: The third party payer is primarily responsible. If its funds aren't available, or the 10-day notice wasn't met, the family owes the balance.
  • Payment term: Family balances are due within 30 days. Unpaid invoices may go to collections.

Attendance

  • Missed lessons: Two missed lessons in a row with no communication may result in removal from the schedule.
  • Flex Credits: Up to 2 Flex Credits per class every 90 days (rolling) for absences cancelled 24+ hours ahead.

Información y políticas para pagadores externos

Music Speaks Studio da la bienvenida a estudiantes financiados por escuelas chárter locales, el San Diego Regional Center (SDRC) y otras fuentes. Las familias con pagadores externos siguen las mismas políticas de inscripción, retiro y matrícula que todos los demás, y nuestros Términos y Condiciones generales también aplican.

Comprobante de fondos y facturación

  • Primer mes: Envíe el comprobante de fondos (por ejemplo, una orden de compra o una solicitud aprobada) 14 días antes de su primer mes de servicio. Ejemplo: para comenzar el 1 de febrero, envíelo a más tardar el 18 de enero.
  • Cada mes después: El comprobante de fondos se debe entregar 3 días hábiles antes de su primera clase del mes. Recomendamos solicitar los fondos con 10 días hábiles de anticipación, porque cada escuela chárter tiene sus propios tiempos.
  • Qué debe incluir: El nombre del músico, la fecha de inicio y a Music Speaks Studio como proveedor.

Cómo mantener sus fondos activos

  • La inscripción se renueva cada mes y reserva el horario de su clase hasta que usted se retire por escrito.
  • Las familias solicitan los fondos. Envíe cada renovación (mensual, por semestre o anual, según su proveedor) y mándenos la aprobación.
  • Avísenos de cualquier cambio por escrito al menos 10 días antes del día 1 del mes siguiente. Esto incluye fondos que se pausan, se agotan o no se renovarán. Ejemplo: ¿no tiene fondos para febrero? Avísenos a más tardar el 22 de enero. Con gusto le ayudamos a planear una pausa o a cambiar a pago propio.
  • Sin aviso y sin fondos: El estudiante sigue inscrito y la familia debe la matrícula de ese mes según la tarifa estándar.

Retiros y responsabilidad de la matrícula

  • Aviso de 10 días: Retírese por escrito al menos 10 días antes del día 1 del mes siguiente en Admin@MusicSpeaksStudio.com o al (619) 789-4734. Le enviaremos el Formulario de Retiro para confirmar. Si el aviso llega tarde, se debe la matrícula completa del mes siguiente.
  • Quién paga: El pagador externo es el responsable principal. Si sus fondos no están disponibles, o no se cumplió el aviso de 10 días, la familia debe el saldo.
  • Plazo de pago: Los saldos de la familia se deben pagar dentro de 30 días. Las facturas no pagadas pueden enviarse a cobranza.

Asistencia

  • Clases perdidas: Dos clases seguidas perdidas sin comunicación pueden resultar en que el estudiante sea retirado del horario.
  • Flex Credits: Hasta 2 Flex Credits por clase cada 90 días (periodo continuo) por ausencias canceladas con 24 horas o más de anticipación.

Acuerdo

Al inscribirme con fondos de terceros, acepto que soy responsable de solicitar mis fondos, de avisar por escrito a Music Speaks Studio sobre cualquier pausa o cambio, y de pagar cualquier matrícula que mi pagador externo no cubra.
