Fortnightly lessons are charged at the fortnightly lesson rate.

This rate is higher than the Weekly Program rate because fortnightly lessons use less frequent timetable space and are not the main recommended lesson pathway.

The planned break allowance for Weekly Program students does not automatically apply to fortnightly lessons.

Because fortnightly lessons already run less often, extended absences may affect whether the regular fortnightly time can continue to be held.

If a fortnightly student will be away, please discuss this as early as possible.

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.
