 Guitar Studio Terms of Engagement      


Lesson Bookings

 • The first lesson is a free, no obligation trial lesson. If after the initial trial lesson you decide to continue you will be invoiced for the remainder of the term. You can choose to have two pay as you go lessons after the trial lesson before committing to a term or monthly booking. These extra two lessons are to be completed in consecutive weeks, at the same time after the trial lesson and must be paid for in advance or at the time of the lesson.

• Lessons are booked in advance either by the term (ten week block) for weekly half hour lessons or by the month or term for 45 and 60 minute lessons

• All bookings are final and non refundable  

• Lessons are weekly: NOTE - single, fortnightly and casual lessons are not available except for the first trial lesson.

• General lesson duration recommendations are 60 mins for adults, 45 mins for high school students and 30 mins for primary school or beginner students.  

• New students will be billed as soon as it’s agreed to undertake lessons following the initial trial lesson.


Term Lesson Bookings

• Term lesson rates - $40/30 mins, $58/45 mins and $72/hr

• A Term is defined as being at least the length of the current public school term which is ten weeks in duration

• Term invoices will be sent out via email two weeks before the new term commences.
