- All lessons are conducted on a private, 1-to-1 basis only. We do not provide and encourage group lessons (except for music clinics).

- The course is 'on-going', with no fixed duration. Each lesson is of 45 mins' duration. A fixed lesson will be held per week.

- Students can choose their preferred lesson timing, as long as the school has the available slots. We have available lesson slots from 1130am-915
pm for weekdays and 11am-5pm for Satursdays and Sundays. Lessons are on a fixed weekly basis.

- School fees will be paid on a monthly basis (on the last week of every month).

- Students are allowed to postpone lesson to a later date/timing, as long as students give at least three working days'  notice (60hrs) to the
school. The make-up lessons (if any) can be cleared within 3 months by any instructor.  Student must give at least 4 weeks' notice to the school
should the student choose to terminate the course temporarily/permanently or change in time slot permanently due to any reason.

-  In the event of a public holiday where there are no classes, the lesson will not be counted.  Only the number of weeks (lessons) in a month will be
counted. It doesn't matter which part of the month you register and commence your first lesson, as school fees will be prorated.

- We do not have any such school holidays, whereby you have to pay your school fees and have no lessons to attend. (which is pretty unfair &
senseless :/) So not to worry.
