- Any student may have a parent present during lessons if they wish. For younger students this is recommended.
- DO NOT ATTEND when sick. Sick students may be turned away at your cost. See point 6 for cancellation.
Fees
- A ‘term’ is a block of 10 lessons regardless of the start and finish date and is not related to school terms.
- Fees for 2024 will be $250 per 10 lessons. (South Australian rate for private studio lessons is currently set at $40.00 per lesson.)
- Lessons must be paid for in 10 week terms in advance. Split payments are not accepted. An invoice will be emailed prior to the first lesson and must be paid within two weeks of the block commencement. Non payment will result in a suspension of lessons. Continuing non payment may result in the involvement of a debt collection agency and passing on of the expenses incurred in the recovery process.
- Notice must be given for cancellation of a lesson, or the lesson will be charged for.
Students or parents must inform me of a cancelation at least 1 hour before the lesson. A cancelled lesson with appropriate notice is does not incur loss of paid time. Replacement lessons at another time during the week may be available but also may not, depending on my schedule. If the lesson can not be scheduled, no charge from the prepaid block will occur.
- No refund of unused lessons within a term will be given if lessons are terminated.
School Holidays
- Lessons will be available during school holidays if the student or caregivers wish however these lessons are not mandatory and a break from lessons during school holidays is an option. Lessons will not be available during the Summer holidays.
Examinations and Concerts
- Participation in exams is entirely optional. Students may only enter with the authority of the teacher. Entry without agreement will result in termination of lessons.
