Our Policies
When you sign up for guitar or piano lessons with us and become a member of Sydney Music Tuition, your agreed lesson day and time is reserved and guaranteed for you, every week.
Payments
The Term Period monthly rate is due at the end of each 4-week lesson block.
When enrolling at different times of the year the monthly lesson fee will be charged from lesson 1 in advance.
Casual lessons are booked on a monthly basis in advance.
All payments are due at the end of each 4-week block.
Student Cancellations
Two makeup lesson credits are allowed during each bi yearly period (Term Period enrollment) for any absence when notified more than 12 hours in advance of the scheduled lesson. If less than 12 hours notice is given no makeup credit will be offered.
Makeup credits may be used at any time during the current Term Period. The makeup credit cannot be carried over into the following Term Period.
If you plan on missing more than one lesson per term for family holidays, school events or any other reason you must continue to pay in order to reserve your place in the studio.
For extended absences of 5 weeks or more, you can suspend your enrolment at the end of the current month and re-enrol when you return but we cannot guarantee the same day, time or teacher.
Public Holidays
If your lesson occurs on a public holiday and you and your teacher do not wish to have a lesson, we will allow an additional makeup credit to be used at a time mutually convenient for you and your teacher.
Teacher Absence
If your teacher is sick or has a conflict with a scheduled lesson, you will be offered appropriate options to make up for the missed lesson.
Our teachers may occasionally take time off for professional development opportunities interstate or overseas. Under these circumstances, we may be able to arrange for a substitute teacher to cover your regular teacher during their absence. While it would be our recommendation to always maintain continuity of lessons, if preferred you can suspend lessons until your teacher returns and a full refund will be given for that period.
