My cancellation policy is only 24 hours in advance of a class. In cases of vacations, doctors appointments, etc., I appreciate my students cancelling as soon as they know they will not be able to make the class, but it is not required. You will be charged for any lesson not cancelled at least 24 hours in advance.
