Terms of contract

I ask parents or students to agree the following at the beginning of teaching contracts.

• I ask for lessons to be paid for in advance at the beginning of each half term. Each block consists of 5-8 lessons.
• If a student / parent needs to cancel a lesson during term-time due to unavoidable circumstances, I will endeavour to find another time that week. However, this cannot be guaranteed.
• If I know at the beginning of term that a pupil will not be available for one or more lessons that term, I am happy to take that into account and not charge for it or them.
• Every effort will be taken on my part to fulfil the teaching obligation, but should I have to cancel a lesson due to unforeseen circumstances, a full refund will be given for that lesson.

Commitment to learning

Learning an instrument can be one of the most satisfying activities and the benefits are wide and long-lasting, but it requires hard work and persistence.

It is an undertaking that requires commitment on the part of pupils and motivational support from parents of pupils, if the pupil is a child.
