Studio Policy For Casual Lessons
Casual lessons offer the flexibility to undertake musical training even when you have a busy or irregular work/study schedule. Fees for casual lessons are slightly higher than taking lessons by the term. Please keep in mind that availability of your preferred teacher may vary for casual lessons, and a regular time is not guaranteed. In general we recommend casual lessons for adults only, as children normally require a consistent lesson rhythm for learning piano / singing. Undertaking casual lessons also requires more discipline for adults, since there may be longer periods in between lessons.
At the Lessons: Please arrive for your lesson in a timely manner. For younger students, parents may quietly observe the lesson or run errands during the lesson period. Due to scheduling constraints, lesson times will not be extended if arriving late.
Bookings / Payment: Casual piano or singing lessons can be booked at any time, dependent on the availability of your teacher. Bookings can be made online or via our admin team, and payment is required within 24 hours of booking the appointment.
Cancellations / Missed Lessons: If the teacher needs to change or cancel a lesson, that lesson will be rescheduled, credited or refunded. A substitute teacher may be provided if a teacher is unavailable due to illness.
If you need to cancel or reschedule a lesson, please contact your teacher by SMS as early as possible. If less than 24 hours cancellation notice is given, the lesson will be forfeited. If more than 24 hours notice is given, there will be a fee of $20 for cancelling or rescheduling as this is the admin fee charged by our venue for casual booking changes.
Materials: The teacher will suggest music books and resources which can be purchased through the studio, or at your local music store.
School & Public Holidays: Piano lessons are often available during public holidays and school holiday periods. Our teachers work on a limited schedule during the holiday periods, and early booking is advised.
