About the School of Rock and Jazz

Once you're ready, you will be encouraged to join a student band.
​
Students choose their own band name, pick their own material with the guidance of their teacher, and have a 1-hour rehearsal each week.
Perform at different events around the community, like Fortuna First Fridays, the Fortuna Rodeo parade, and the Apple Harvest Festival.

Breaks and Closures
We will be closed for 1 week during Spring Break, 1 week during Thanksgiving break, and 2 weeks during Christmas Break (following the local schools' calendar). These closures have been calculated into your monthly tuition, and you will still receive 48 lessons per year, or an average of 4 per month, even though some months will have 5 lessons and some will have 3.
​
We are not closed for federal holidays that are observed on Monday or Friday, such as Labor Day or Memorial Day. Lessons will go ahead to avoid disadvantaging students scheduled on those days.
Reschedule and Cancellation Policy
Lessons may be rescheduled if there is an opening during the same week, but this is not guaranteed. Tuition may be paused for up to a month if a student will be unable to attend lessons for an extended period of time. It is the student's responsibility to attend their scheduled lesson times, and The Practice Pad reserves the right to cancel enrollment if a student habitually misses their scheduled time.
