Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose which instrument is right for me?2023-02-27T21:12:39-06:00

We know making that first step in choosing your instrument is a tough one. Don’t let that stop you! We are committed to helping your student find the right fit. If you’re unhappy with your mentor or instrument, you can simply let us know and we’ll try a different option. We offer a one-time free trial lesson for all new students to try out your instrument of choice to ensure it’s a good fit. We’re committed to partnering with you to find the absolute best fit instrument and mentor!

How do I choose which music mentor is right for me?2025-01-15T16:47:44-06:00

Every lesson and class is led by instructors that we purposely call “mentors.” We take the responsibility of training the next generation seriously. Each of our mentors is not only thoroughly background checked, trained, and empowered to develop the student’s gifts and talents, but also to build trusted and reliable connections. We believe that if the students trust the environment and mentor, they will thrive and grow faster. You can meet our Music Mentors here!

Can I change my instrument or my mentor?2023-02-27T21:17:13-06:00

Absolutely. Making an instrument or mentor change is easy. Simply contact our office at (615) 804-1177 or music@rootsacademy.com and let them know what you’d like to do. They’ll be happy to talk you through your options.

If I miss a music lesson, can I make it up?2024-01-11T15:51:14-06:00

Absolutely! As long as we hear from you at least 24 hours before your scheduled lesson, you will receive a once-monthly make-up for your missed lessons.

Make-ups are not permitted for no-shows or multiple missed lessons per month.

How do I stop my music lessons?2025-01-15T16:50:08-06:00

We offer hassle-free withdrawals and/or temporary lesson holds. The only requirement is to submit your request to withdraw at least 15 days prior to the next billing cycle. Withdrawal requests must be submitted in writing using this form. Withdrawals will be processed within three business days.

How do I claim the 30-day money back guarantee?2025-01-07T13:57:22-06:00

The money-back guarantee is based on the following requirements:

  • The student is required to attend four consecutive weeks of lessons/classes
  • Parent/student must notify the front office regarding their dissatisfaction by the third week, giving us an opportunity to improve your learning experience.
  • Refunds will be paid by check and delivered within 10-14 business days.
Can I put my music lessons on hold for the summer, sports, etc.?2025-01-07T13:54:38-06:00

If I miss a music lesson, do I get a make-up?2024-01-11T15:55:02-06:00

Students are offered 1 make-up credit per lesson type per month for cancellations made at least 24 hours in advance of the scheduled lesson. Make-up lesson availability is limited and varies by mentor, and we encourage students to make every effort to attend their regularly scheduled weekly lessons either ins studio or online via Zoom. Make-up credits expire 30 days after date issued.

Do you offer bi-weekly music lessons?2022-08-08T17:33:14-05:00

In order to ensure consistency and the best progress possible, we do not offer bi-weekly lessons. We see the best growth for students who attend lessons weekly. However, we do offer online lessons through Zoom, so if life gets in the way, students are always welcome to have their lesson at home!

How does music lesson enrollment work?2023-06-28T17:39:15-05:00

We have several options available for weekly music lessons:

  • 30 minute lessons ($165/month)
  • 45 minute lessons ($245/month)
  • 60 minute lessons ($330/month)

When you enroll in music lessons, you reserve a day & time on a mentor’s calendar that will be yours until you decide to change your schedule or discontinue lessons.

Music students are not locked into long-term commitments as tuition is billed monthly, however, we recommend committing to lessons for at least a year in order to see instrument progress, especially for beginners.
