Music in schools

We reserve the right to discontinue lessons under the following circumstances:

• unsatisfactory progress
• lack of practice
• loss of interest
• lack of response to teaching or instruction
• regularly forgetting instrument or music
• poor attendance or non-attendance at four consecutive lessons without good reason
• learning the instrument is causing the child distress
• it is in the best interests of the child’s physical/mental wellbeing to stop lessons
• lessons on the same discipline have been undertaken elsewhere
• other reasons detailed on correspondence from instrumental music instructor

If applicable, any of the above concerns will be addressed, following consultation with your child; you (the parent/carer); the instrumental teacher and the school.

If you wish to stop your child’s instrumental music lessons:

• give immediate notice in writing to your child’s instrumental music teacher
• return your child’s loaned instrument (if applicable)

If lessons have been stopped and a loan instrument not returned, we will invoice you for the cost of a replacement.
