Enrolment & Lessons
Enrolment at Shining C Music Studio is confirmed once a completed enrolment form and initial payment have been received. Lessons are allocated on a term basis. Continuation into the next term is assumed unless written notice of withdrawal is given before the end of the current term.
Payment
Term fees are payable in advance at the start of each term. We accept bank transfer and cash. Fees are non-refundable except in circumstances outlined under the Cancellation policy below. All fees are in New Zealand dollars and include GST where applicable.
Cancellation & Make-up Lessons
Please give at least 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel a lesson. Lessons cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice will be forfeited unless due to illness supported by a medical certificate, or emergency. Make-up lessons are offered at the teacher's discretion and subject to availability.
Withdrawal
Two weeks' written notice is required to withdraw from lessons. Fees paid in advance are non-refundable unless the studio is unable to provide lessons. Fees for any lessons remaining within the notice period will remain payable.
Studio Rules & Conduct
Students and parents/guardians are expected to treat teachers and other students with courtesy and respect. The studio reserves the right to terminate enrolment without refund if conduct is deemed inappropriate or disruptive. Students are responsible for any damage caused to studio equipment or property.
