Please ensure that that you are aware of, and familiar with, the Music Lesson Guidelines below.
Enrolment:
Students must enrol prior to commencing lessons each year. Application forms will be emailed to existing students with their Easter invoices. New students may apply at any time during the year, by filling in the enrolment form and submitting it either online or in person at the school addres. Priority of place allocation will be given to current students, and then according to the date the enrolment form is received.
Fees:
All fees are due in advance and must be paid by the third week of term. Failure to pay fees in good time may result in forfeiture of place. Fees will not be refunded if a student cancels lessons during the term. Fees may be paid online via bank transfer or directly to Dave at the start of term.
Examinations:
Famous Dave Music prepares students for the instrumental exams by RSL Rockschool. There is one exam session per year and students are entered at the discretion of their teacher. Exam fees must be paid on time. Failure to pay the fees by the closing date (advertised on the Rockschool website – www.rslawards.com) means students will not be entered for the exam. Exam fees are non-refundable.
(Note: Exams are available in Acoustic and Electric Guitar, Electric Bass and Ukulele. Exams are not compulsory.)
Missed classes and punctuality:
Students must attend their lessons at scheduled times. Teachers are not obliged to reschedule lessons missed by students or give extra time to absent or late students. If a teacher is unable to attend a lesson a deputy teacher may be appointed – if none is available the class will be made up at a mutually convenient time, or the fee credited.
Force Majeure:
In the event of circumstances beyond our control (for example school closures as a result of a government directive), students will be entitled to a 50% credit for the missed lesson.
Cancellations:
Famous Dave Music must be notified of withdrawal of a student from lessons. Adjustments to invoices or refunds can only be made after the date of this formal notification.
Discipline:
Students are required to respect school property and the building at all times. Please behave in a quiet and orderly manner both in the premises and surrounding areas. Students must co-operate fully with teachers to ensure a good learning environment. Repetition of unruly behaviour will be dealt with by Dave and can result in discontinuation of classes.
Note: Photographs/Videos:
Occasionally photographs and videos will be taken during a lesson in order to demonstrate a particular technique. Students are allowed to use their own phone for this, where possible. Otherwise students are not allowed to use their phones during a class.
Also from time to time photographs and/or video may be taken of students for publicity purposes. Unless otherwise stated, submission of signed enrolment forms will be regarded as permission for use.
