Lesson tuition, payment, and missed lessons

Private individual lessons are conducted on a weekly basis for 30 or 60 minutes.

Your monthly tuition will be calculated depending on the date in which you join the studio. All lessons are billed in AUD.

Monthly tuition is based on a 11-month period (Jan 20-Dec) and divided into monthly payment installments. The studio runs much like a private school; Tuition remains the same each month and is based on enrollment, not attendance, reserving your child’s exclusive lesson time throughout the academic year, whether he/she attends lessons or not. It is not the teacher’s responsibility to reschedule a student’s lesson if he/she has a conflict with another activity. A student who does not attend a lesson will simply miss the benefit of that lesson and the teacher will send a recorded video instead. Your tuition reserves you a weekly time slot and benefits within the studio. Please give as much notice as possible when canceling a lesson. If the teacher needs to miss the lesson, I will credit the missed lesson to the next month's invoice.

Tuition payments are in AUD and will be made through My Music Staff account and will be automated for the 1st of every month. I will send you a link to create an account and automate payments.

10 Week Lessons/Term Based Lesson packages

Term Based tuition is based on 10 week terms. There are 4 terms every year with 2 weeks break in between. This option is billed via AUD only as my payment processor for this option is only automated for AUD. You can choose to prepay for 3 lessons or 10 once you sign up. Missed lessons will simply be forfeited.

Tuition payments will be made through my Samii account and will be automated. I will send you a link to create an account upon registration.

Discontinuation of lessons

To discontinue lessons, the student must provide at least one month’s advance written notice. If the student does not provide one month’s advance written notice, the student shall be liable for one month’s tuition in full, even if no lessons are provided during that month.
