Soundgarage lessons are held in small groups during class time. The Soundgarage program generally runs all year (Terms 1, 2, 3 & 4) and includes a Term 4 concert. There can also be other performances throughout the year. Under normal circumstances, Soundgarage students are guaranteed a minimum of 32 lessons for a full year (average 8 each Term). However, students will usually receive more than 32 for the year.
Fees are payable IN ADVANCE for the term and there are no refunds for children who drop out during the term.
THE FEES COVER A TERM AND ARE NOT CALCULATED PER LESSON.
If you wish to withdraw your child from the program, the Soundgarage coordinator must be informed by email, phone or via an EXIT form. This needs to happen in the Term PRIOR to the term of withdrawal so that groups and teachers can be organised ahead of any change. Unfortunately, lessons lost due to student illness or school activities cannot be made up. Circumstances such as long-term illness etc. can be discussed with The Soundgarage coordinator and appropriate arrangements can be made.
If, for reasons beyond the control of Soundgarage, such as school closures, building programs etc. we are unable to access our teaching spaces, this may affect the number of lessons we are able to offer. Please understand that we cannot guarantee that any lost lessons will be made up under circumstances such as these.
If your child is going on an extended holiday during the Term, we ask that you contact the Soundgarage coordinator, the Term prior, so that options can be discussed for the term ahead.
