* Piano Maestros may increase the tuition fees from time to time. We will give written notice of such an increase to the Pupil (or the Pupil’s parent or guardian) by no later than the start of the series of lessons preceding the series when the increase takes effect.

PHOTOGRAPHY AND FILMING PERMISSION

We like to record the evidence of our work and some of our concerts may be video recorded. Our DVDs will be solely available to the parents for their personal use. Selected performances may be chosen to be showcased on the Piano Maestros website. We may also use some images on our social media sites.

Conditions of photographing and recording of pupils;

1. In accordance with our child protection policy we will not permit photographs, video or other images of children to be taken without the consent of the parents.

2. We will take steps to ensure the footage and images are used solely for the purpose they are intended. If you become aware that these images are being used inappropriately you should inform Piano Maestros immediately.

3. We will not use the personal details or full names of any pupil, and we will notify you if your child has or is likely to appear in a photograph or in the promotional video (even if you have given consent on this form).

PERSONAL DATA INFORMATION

We only collect data we need in order to provide you with the services you have asked us to provide. We will use your email address to send you invoices, and you will also be receiving automated SMS reminders 48 hours before your upcoming appointment. In some exceptional circumstances, if there is a need to discuss anything related to your / your child’s piano tuition, we may need to contact you on your telephone number.

You can opt out of receiving the SMS reminders and/or emails about our upcoming events at any time, and you can email your request to office@pianomaestros.co.uk. You will, however, receive information relevant to your tuition fees, or other important details related to your piano tuition (information about the examination dates, tuition reports, etc).

For more information and the complete Privacy Policy please contact us, or visit our website.

1. NATURE OF LESSONS

• We offer face-to-face lessons, however, our tuition might be a combination of in-person and online lessons. Lessons will automatically move online if the Tutor or the Student/Parent has to self-isolate, or in order to follow our Covid-19 safety measures. 
   

2. PAYMENTS 

• All piano lessons are paid for in advance for the whole term or an agreed series of lessons. The fees must be paid for in full before the first lesson of the term/series. This is done via online bank transfer.
   

3. LATE PAYMENTS

• If the payment is not made by/on the due date, the Student/Parent will be charged a late payment fee of £20. 
• If there is a further delay in paying the fees, the lessons may be suspended until the payment is settled in full. Any lessons suspended due to the late payment will count as missed lessons by the Student.
   

4. REFUNDS

• We do not offer refunds.

 

5. RESCHEDULING OF LESSONS

• A minimum of 48-hour notice has to be given to the Tutor if the Student would like to reschedule a lesson. Only one lesson per term can be rescheduled to avoid too much disruption of the Tutor’s and other Student’s timetables.
• Lessons cancelled with less than 48-hour notice can not be rescheduled and will count as missed lessons by the Student. 
• On rare occasions, if the Tutor is absent or unable to deliver a lesson, they will replace that lesson on a day and time suitable for the Student. 
   

6. MISSED LESSONS IN-PERSON & ONLINE

• No-shows – if the Student won’t show up for the agreed lesson appointment, this lesson can not be rescheduled and will count as a missed lesson by the Student. 
• Late turn-ups – if the Student turns up late for their lesson appointment, this lesson will still finish on time according to the agreed schedule.
   

7. TERMINATION OF LESSONS 

• Our tuition agreement continues automatically on a rolling basis from term to term, or series to series. The Student/ Parent can cancel this agreement by giving notice in writing to academy@pianomaestros.co.uk.
• Weekly plan – a half-term cancellation notice is required. Lessons can be stopped only at the end of the term, or after the half-term break. 
• Fortnightly plan – one-month notice (four weeks) is required. 
   

8. PUBLIC PERFORMANCES AND EXAMS

• The Student/Parent agrees to discuss with the Tutor in advance if they wish to appear in any public performance, Piano Maestros concerts or events organised by a Student’s school or other clubs.
• The Student/Parent will not submit an exam application without the consent of the Tutor. 
   

9. CONDUCT

• If the Teacher, using his reasonable discretion, feels unable to continue tuition on account of conduct by the Student or anyone connected with the Student which makes it unethical or unsafe to continue teaching the Student, the fees for any outstanding lessons will not be refundable.
