FAQs about Missing a Class
Being a Part of RiyaazOnline
RiyaazOnline is a musical school. And just like any other school - when you enroll, you reserve a dedicated weekly time slot that's exclusively yours. This ensures you always have your lesson time waiting for you, while helping me manage my limited time effectively.
Monthly Fees & Extended Absences
Can I pause payments when I'm away for a month or two (traveling, family commitments, jobchanges, exams, etc.)?
Just like a school where you can't pause and resume fees according to your schedule, classes cannot be paused here either. Monthly fees continue whether you attend or don't attend classes, as your slot remains reserved for you
This applies to both one-on-one and group classes
Compensation Classes
If I miss a month or two with prior notice, can the classes be compensated?
Compensating a complete month or two of classes isn't practically possible. However, with mutual understanding and depending on the grounds of your absence - particularly in cases of medical emergency - only a few classes may be considered for compensation
This flexibility applies only to one-on-one classes, not group classes.
If I miss a class or two in a week and give prior notice, will my classes be adjusted?
While it's advisable not to ask for compensation classes frequently, we can consider a compensation class once every two months with prior notice and mutual understanding.
This applies only to one-on-one classes, not group classes.
Why These Policies Exist
This system ensures fairness for everyone. Your reserved slot means I can't temporarily reassign it to others, and my limited time means I can't create unlimited makeup sessions. The membership model allows me to provide consistent, quality instruction while managing realistic scheduling constraints.
