Terms & Conditions

Enrollment

Students enroll for terms based on the academic school year. If government advice leads to the temporary closure, Students enrolled will be given online lessons. No deferrals or refunds are offered in this situation.


Missed Lessons

Any missed lesson by a student, whether or not notified in advance, will be marked as an ‘absent attendance’ and will not be reimbursed/made-up. I would ask that if a student is going to be absent for a lesson, to please notify me either by email or phone call/text a minimum of 24 hours in advance and I will try to reschedule. If there is going to be a long absence from lessons due to illness or other circumstances, please communicate this by email and I will do my best to accommodate you but cannot guarantee this.

I reserve the right to make changes to lesson timetables.

In the case that I would be absent, a credit will be given. In the case where I cannot conduct a lesson due to Covid but I'm happy and well to teach, I will offer students the opportunity to undertake the lesson remotely. Students / Parents will be contacted in advance of the lesson to arrange. If it is not possible for a student to do their lesson remotely, they can opt out by notifying me and will receive a make up credit for the missed lesson.
 

Payment

A deposit of 50 euro is required to secure the lesson time slot with the balance for the term paid before the first lesson.

Student Welfare

Students are expected to behave in a reasonable manner while in lessons and the premises and property must be treated respectfully at all times.

Before, after and in between lessons, responsibility for the welfare of the students rests with the parent or guardian.

Please ensure that children arrive promptly for the start of lessons and are collected promptly upon completion.


Exams

Each student is responsible for applying for any exams and exam fees. These are paid directly to the relevant examining board (RIAM or Leinster School of Music) . Please discuss with me as I am familiar with the process.
