I've made this mistake before and missed out on money because people just miss lessons and don't seem to think they need to make them up.

Start out with a firm studio policy, put it in writing, have the parents sign it and stick to your guns.

Pay by the term is easiest, give them a couple of weeks to pay the bill though. Then if a lesson is missed, it's already been paid for.
