Terms & Conditions
Terms & Conditions for JAM Music Schools Lessons.
JAM Music Schools reserve the right to amend or alter our terms of trading, as detailed below, at any time without notice. The latest version will be posted on the website.
By returning our signed music lesson booking form to us, you are agreeing to our terms of trading as laid out in this document.
We require a booking form to be completed and returned to us before commencing lessons. In doing so you agree to set up a standing order to pay the stated monthly sum when due, as detailed on our 'Payment details for JAM Music School Lessons' document which will be issued or emailed to you. We reserve the right to vary these amounts as dictated by trading conditions. In such instances 30 days notice of any changes will be given by us.
Refunds are at the discretion of the management and only given for lessons cancelled due to staff absence and not for pupil absence because of sickness or holiday.
The type of instruments taught, lesson duration, availability and costs will be detailed at your taster session.
We cannot guarantee a place will be available for all pupil applications. In this instance you may be given the option of being added to a waiting list.
Our music lessons are normally taught in venues and during the hours stated, on our website www.jammusicschools.co.uk.
No staff members of JAM Music School are able to enter into a private teaching arrangement.
Our lessons are provided under a continuous and open-ended arrangement. If you wish to cancel you must inform us either by text or What's App (07786 605111) or email (jam@jammusicschools.co.uk) giving one months notice. We cannot accept cancellation from anyone except a parent or guardian of the child. If the child stops attending lessons they will be marked absent but any outstanding fees are still due for payment until such cancellation is received by us.
Our music lessons are delivered in good faith and much of our teaching is based on popular contemporary music. Our method is one of positive encouragement to promote both instrument skills and self-confidence. Progress will be greatly enhanced if a regular practice programme is followed in addition to our lessons. As this is dependent on each individual learner, we are unable to guarantee specific measures of progress.
The independent Rockschool syllabus may be offered at our discretion. The cost of external teaching material (such as Rockschool publications) and examination costs are not included in our fees. You are responsible for booking and paying for all costs related to external examinations.
Though we will try to accommodate one to one lessons (tutor to student), we cannot guarantee this, nor do we guarantee the same tutors for each student, each week. Events beyond our control may result in students being taught in larger groups.
Our teaching staff are suitably qualified and hold DBS checks where appropriate.
Instruments are normally provided for use during lessons at no additional cost. We can bear no responsibility for loss or damage to any instruments brought into lessons.
We may offer opportunities for our learners to take part in live events from time to time at no extra cost to you, however we are not obliged to do so. In the case of these events being of a charitable nature we may suggest a voluntary financial contribution of which 100% would be donated to the charity after our costs are deducted.
It may be necessary to record live events for staff training or marketing purposes, using video, still photography or audio equipment. Please make us aware if you wish your child to be excluded.
