STUDIO POLICY
Your child’s musical development depends on many factors, including consistent attendance, preparation, and support at home. This studio policy is designed to create an efficient and supportive learning environment.
FEES
Term tuition fees are discounted and due by the invoiced date before the start of each term. Failure to pay fees by the due date will incur a 2.5% late fee, automatically applied 7 days after the due date.
In exceptional circumstances, alternative payment options may be discussed.
The discounted rate applies only to students who prepay for 10 or 11 lessons for the full term.
Payment methods:
-
EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer)
-
Online credit card payment (a 2.9% convenience fee applies)
ABSENCES
-
No refunds or credits are given for missed lessons.
-
Make-up lessons for student absences are not offered
-
If you are aware of a one-off upcoming absence, rescheduling may be possible, with at least 48 hours’ notice and if a suitable slot is available during the same term.
If the teacher is absent, students will receive either a makeup lesson or a credit toward the next term. (Refunds are not available.)
DISCONTINUED LESSONS
If a student wishes to discontinue lessons, 30 days’ written notice is required. Otherwise, a full month’s tuition will be charged.
