Once you’ve purchased lessons, you have 14 days to cancel them. After this period you are not able to make any changes until registering for the following term. When you are asked to renew lessons for the next term, if you wish to make changes you must cancel the existing lessons and shop for the new lessons you want instead.

Once you have committed to purchase lessons, hire and/or ensemble membership for the term, we are unable to offer refunds after the 14 day cancellation period has passed. If your tutor has not been able to complete the full number of lessons for the term, you will be issued a refund for any missed lessons.
