Our commitment to your voice

At Sing Out Loud, we're dedicated to helping you discover your full vocal potential. Taking music lessons requires a commitment from both student and teacher. I am committed to your scheduled lesson time each week, in addition to time spent preparing special lesson material for you. We ask for your understanding and cooperation with our policies to ensure a fair and productive learning environment for all our students in NElson, New Zealand.

My policies and expectations

To ensure a smooth and productive learning experience for everyone, please familiarise yourself with my key policies below. These guidelines help me maintain a high standard of coaching and support.

Commitment to your lessons

I ask this of you: be on time for your lesson each week and practice your assigned material. This mutual commitment ensures that you get the most out of every session and continue to progress. This policy helps ensure students are not wasting their time or mine.

 

Cancellations and rescheduling

Lessons cancelled with 24 hours notice or more, will not incur a fee.

Lessons cancelled with lesson than 24 hours notice and up to 6 hours will incur a 50% charge.

Lessons cancelled with less than 6 hours notice will incur a 100% charge except in exceptional circumstances and at the discretion of the tutor.

Please email or text as soon as possible to let me know a student will be missing their scheduled lesson time. 

 

Missed lessons (no-shows)

If the student misses a lesson without calling or texting in advance (a “no-show”), the student will forfeit that lesson, and no make-up lesson will be scheduled.

The lesson will be invoiced at the full rate.

 

Lesson readiness

To maximise your learning experience, please ensure you are on time and ready to go for your lesson! Having your materials prepared and a clear mind will make a significant difference.

 

How to communicate with us

If you have a question, a problem, or are not happy with something, we prefer you get in touch via email or in person. This allows us to address your concerns directly and promptly.
