- This is a professional studio, your lesson time is reserved for your exclusive use of my skills and your progress.
- Pre-payment for all lessons is expected.
- The student is expected to provide 24hrs notice via (text or phone call) if unable to attend the lesson.
- If a student misses a lesson time there is no refund of the lesson fee (excepting sudden/severe illness or accidents). We may be able to reschedule your lesson, to a maximum of one per term (Term I Sept - Dec; Term II Jan-June; Summer Term June-July). There is no guarantee of getting a rescheduled lesson as it depends on other openings in the schedule.
- If I unexpectedly have to miss a lesson, you will be fully refunded, or provided with an additional lesson.
