SaxMentor™ Student Enrollment Contract & Agreement
Website: saxmentor.com | Email: earl@earlwilliamsjr.com | Director: Earl Williams Jr.
1. Tuition Rates & Payment Options
Tuition secures instruction and reserves a dedicated recurring calendar slot on the SaxMentor studio schedule. Enrolling students select one of the following payment plans:
Option A: Credit Card Auto-Draft Monthly Prepay — $280 / Month Recommended
- Automated credit or debit card payment processed on the 1st of each month ($70/lesson rate).
- Guarantees your recurring weekly day and time slot on the studio calendar.
- Includes 5th-week bonus lessons at no extra charge (averaging $56/lesson during 5-week months) and qualifies for asynchronous video makeup reviews.
Option B: Manual Monthly Prepay (Zelle, Cash App, Cash) — $280 / Month
- Manual payment via Zelle, Cash App, or Cash due on or before the 1st of each month ($70/lesson rate).
- Guarantees your recurring weekly day and time slot and includes 5th-week bonus lessons.
- Payments received after the 3rd incur a $20 late fee.
- Strict Attendance & Payment Policy: Upon the second occurrence of a late payment, the student will be un-enrolled, and their reserved time slot will be released to the studio waiting list.
Option C: Pay-As-You-Go Single Session — $75 / Lesson
- Pay-as-you-go rate for casual or irregular scheduling. Payment must be remitted at least 24 hours prior to each session.
- Does NOT reserve a permanent weekly time slot. Sessions are scheduled week-to-week based strictly on studio availability around monthly prepay students.
- Does not include 5th-week monthly savings ($375 total in 5-week months) or asynchronous video makeup privileges.
2. Instructional Calendar & 5-Lesson Months
Monthly tuition ($280/month) is calculated as a flat rate across an annual 48-week instructional calendar year (12 months = 48 scheduled weekly lessons).
- Months with 5 weekly lesson dates do not incur additional tuition fees for monthly prepay students.
- The 4 extra "fifth weeks" occurring during the calendar year are utilized either for scheduled studio break weeks (e.g., major holidays) or serve as bonus instructional sessions at no extra cost.
- Flat monthly tuition remains constant every month regardless of calendar variations.
3. Attendance & Asynchronous Video Makeup Policy
Because monthly tuition reserves a dedicated, non-transferable time slot exclusively for you, live 1-on-1 makeup lessons are not offered for student-canceled sessions or no-shows.
If you notify the studio at least 24 hours in advance of an absence, submit a 2-minute video recording of your assignment. Mr. Williams will review your submission and record a personalized video critique with downloadable PDF practice notes during your scheduled lesson hour.
- Cancellations under 24 hours or no-shows forfeit that week’s session without video review or refund.
- If the instructor cancels a session, a live makeup session will be scheduled or a credit issued toward the following month.
4. Optional 8-Week Focus Track Course Upgrades
Students enrolled in monthly tuition may elect to upgrade to a specialized 8-Week Focus Track (e.g., Sax Systems) for a one-time $97 Materials & Digital Access Fee per course.
- Weekly 1-on-1 lesson time shifts 100% to the chosen course curriculum for 8 weeks.
- Includes downloadable exercise PDFs and lifetime streaming access to custom backing tracks and video walkthroughs hosted on the SaxMentor portal.
