Casual lessons are charged at the casual lesson rate.

This rate is higher than the Weekly Program and fortnightly lesson rates because casual lessons are flexible, one-off bookings and do not involve the same regular timetable commitment.

Casual lessons are paid per lesson by cash or card in person.

If you need to cancel or change a casual lesson, please give as much notice as possible.

At least 4 hours notice is appreciated where possible, as this gives the lesson time a better chance of being adjusted or offered to someone else.

If a student arrives late, the lesson will still finish at the scheduled time and the full lesson fee applies. Where possible, additional flexibility may occasionally be offered at my discretion.

Casual lessons may not include the same level of ongoing materials, lesson planning, lesson notes, or progress tracking as the Weekly Program.

Any materials used in casual lessons are chosen based on the purpose of that lesson.

Parents are welcome to stay during lessons, especially for younger students or new students.

Parents are responsible for students before and after their scheduled lesson time.

Please make sure students are dropped off and collected on time.

If someone different will be collecting the student, please let me know beforehand.

Students should not be left at the studio outside their scheduled lesson time unless this has been agreed in advance.

Students are expected to treat the teacher, studio, equipment, and other people respectfully.

Lessons may be paused or ended if a student's behaviour makes the lesson unsafe, disrespectful, or unproductive.

Damage caused by careless, unsafe, or inappropriate use of equipment may need to be repaired or replaced at the family's expense.

Drumming is a physical activity. Students are expected to follow instructions, use equipment safely, and let me know if something feels uncomfortable or painful.

Please let me know about any relevant injuries, medical conditions, sensory needs, or learning needs that may affect the lesson.

Reasonable care is taken during lessons, but students and parents are responsible for communicating any concerns that may affect safe participation.

If a student is sick and you would prefer them not to attend, please let me know as early as possible.

Illness does not change the normal cancellation, reschedule, lesson credit, or payment policy for the student's lesson type.

I may record lessons to help create lesson notes, track progress, or remember important details from the lesson.

Recordings may be processed using speech-to-text or AI note-taking tools to help prepare accurate and useful lesson notes.

Recordings are used for lesson-related purposes only.

Recordings are deleted once they have been used for lesson notes or progress tracking.

Recordings are not used publicly for marketing, social media, or website content without parent or student permission.

Students and parents can let me know if they do not want lesson recordings or AI note-taking tools used.

From time to time, I may send lesson-related updates, studio news, availability updates, educational content, special offers, or other marketing communication.

This may be sent to current students, past students, parents, or people who have enquired about lessons.

Marketing messages will identify the studio and include a way to unsubscribe or opt out.

You can unsubscribe or ask not to receive marketing communication at any time.

Personal information is handled according to the studio's Privacy Policy.

Student and parent details may be used for lesson booking, communication, invoicing, lesson notes, student progress tracking, and studio communication.

For more details, please see the Privacy Policy.

Pricing, lesson options, and policies may be updated from time to time.

Current students will be given reasonable notice of any important changes that affect their ongoing lessons.

The latest version of the lesson policies will be available on this page.

These policies are designed to keep lessons clear, consistent, and fair.

Nothing in these policies is intended to remove any rights a customer may have under Australian Consumer Law.

If any part of these policies needs to be updated, the latest version will be available on this page.
