Information You Should know when you Sign up
26 Feb 2020
CONTACT ME NOW
Please contact me asap as soon anyone who wants to learn will be put on a waiting list.
Guitar and ukulele learners I will teach pairs, trios or groups. But the general abilities and ages of the learners should be similar. I generally will have an assessment lesson if I need to know what kind of player/learner I have.
Piano learners will be taken by themselves.
Please discuss this option if it interests you.
General Information about Lessons
Here is information about guitar,ukulele and piano lessons. There will be other questions but we will answer every one of these as they arise.
Main points:
NO REFUNDS
Concession Cards(cc) and Lesson by Lesson Cards (LBL) Kept
I will keep your CC and LBL cards from now on (Wed 4th March 2020) while they are active until they are finished with and hand them back to you or your child. A large X from corner to corner will be drawn to show that the card has been finished with.
I will also send you an email when the card has been finished with that it is the time to pay again.
Some cards are forgotten to be brought to a lesson, or a person is away. I will scan a card for you if you want to see it- please ask me.
Thank you!

Tuition fees: Must be paid before the commencement of any lesson. You will receive receipts via email. 2 WAYS of Paying
(a) Concession Card – (CC)
1 free lesson added on. No refunds. No transferring of payments but will have catch up lessons. Must pay $125.00 up front(5 lessons).
(b) Lesson By lesson – (LBL)
Pay for each lesson or a set of lessons – LBL way. There is no free lesson this way - (Pay as little or as much as you like.
Catch-up (Cup) will be in the holidays. Catch -up lessons are not at lesson times.
Both concession Card and Lesson By Lesson Card Holders will receive catch-up lessons.
Catch-up lessons are lessons that have not been able to be had at a regular lesson time.
Catch-up lessons will last until a learner stops having lessons, and then all is stopped.
Every lesson is paid for whether the learner is at the lesson or not. VERY IMPORTANT
If a learner is going to be away lessons must still be paid for. A catch-up lesson will usually be given. Occasionally, a payment may be lost if a learner forgets to come to a lesson or I am not informed or I have planned for the lesson and the learner has not turned up. Catch-up lessons will be given to both concession card holders (cc) and Lesson By lesson card holders (LBL). NO more transferring of tuition payments if a learner is going to be away.
Please let me know if you are not going to be at a lesson ideally the day before at least.
The only time payments will be transferred/carried over is if I cancel a lesson
Examples of situations that have actually happened:
- A learner will be away on holiday. The lessons must still be paid for- catch-up lessons will be given.
- The learner decides to miss a lesson one day to stay with class- the music lesson must still be paid for. Payment may be lost in this situation.
- A learner is sick- lesson must still be paid for - a catch-up lesson will be given.
- A learner does not want a catch-up lesson. No problem with this but the lesson must still be paid for.
- A learner is away on camp. The lesson must be paid for. A catch-up lesson will be given.
- A learner is going to be away for a few weeks say in Japan- his/her lesson slot is locked it and needs to be paid for. Please stop and re-register or pay or have a catch-up lesson which must be paid for . If you re-register your time slot may not be available and you may go on a waiting list if there are no slots available. If you stop any catch-up lessons will disappear and become void. You start again.
What if a Learner Does not Pay?:
No lessons- a warning will be emailed. The learner will be struck off my learning register.
Pairs, Trios or groups
Yes you pay less. But every person in the group must be of a similar ability. The people must get on with each other. If a person is not at a lesson, this person will still have to pay and receive a catch-up lesson. The others in the groups may still be taken or the lesson not had until all are present at the lesson.
FREE LESSONS
The one and only way to get a free lesson is to pay for 5 lessons in a row (CC-concession card). Otherwise pay for 1 or more lessons at a time but receive no free lesson (LBL) card.
Remember , no more transferring of or carrying fees across to another week because a student is not able to be at a lesson. The lesson will still be paid for and either a catch-up lessons will be given, or the payment may be taoytally lost if I am not informed about a future absence.
Resources
I am a book person. Books and any other necessary resources are compulsory to be purchased.
1 month to pay if these are purchased ed through me. I will email you invoices.
By resources I mean books, picks, tuner and capo, anything that I believe will help you succeed with your playing..
Otherwise please get these things yourself.
I will communicate with you regarding any resources you may need.
Homework
Yes this will be given to each lesson. This year I would like homework to be written briefly in a notebook at each lesson which I will give to him.
