Lesson FAQs

The things students and families ask first.

When does the teacher get paid?

Your payment is held by CadenzaHub when you book. Each lesson's share is released to the teacher after that lesson is completed, and lands in their bank about 48 hours later. If a lesson does not happen, the money has not left the platform.

Are there any other fees?

No. You pay the teacher's lesson price plus the 5% booking fee, and that is it: no subscription and no sign-up cost. All tips go to the teacher.

What if we need to cancel?

Every teacher picks one of three cancellation policies: Flexible, Moderate, or Strict. You see the policy on their profile and again before you pay, and the booking system applies it automatically.

What if the teacher is not a good fit?

Start with an intro call or trial lesson where offered. If a teacher cancels three or more sessions in a row without proper notice, we refund the rest of your package and help you find a new teacher within 48 hours.

Can I take lessons as an adult?

Yes. CadenzaHub is for learners of every age. Many of our teachers work with adults, whether you are starting fresh or coming back after years away. Adults can book for themselves, and a parent can add themselves as a student on the same account as their kids.

What if something goes wrong?

Talk to your teacher first. If a lesson did not happen, report it within 48 hours. Every in-person lesson has a check-in code and online lessons log when you both join, so published rules based on those records decide the refund, the same way every time.

Each teacher's cancellation policy is shown on their profile and again before you pay.
