WEEKLY LESSON STUDENT AGREEMENT

Drummers Academy of Music (“DAOM”) offer tuition in drum kit to the student on the following terms and conditions:

1. TUITION. Lessons will be given weekly at the duration of 30 minutes each, and all lessons will take place at our studio, located at Unit 4 Arden Press Way, Letchworth Garden City, Hertfordshire, SG6 1LH. 
2. LESSON SLOT. Your lesson slot will be reserved at the same time each week, for the same duration, on a rolling monthly basis. 
3. FEES. The tuition fee is £80 per month. The monthly fee is the same each month, and is for the reservation of the weekly slot. Fees are subject to change. At least one-months written notice will be given if changes to fees will be made.
4. STUDENT EXPECTATIONS. The student is expected to: have fun in their lessons and in their personal practice; arrive on time to each lesson; bring all necessary materials to each lesson; practice regularly; be an active participant in each lesson; and treat themselves, the instruments, materials, studio premises and the teacher with respect. 
5. SCHEDULE. Lessons are held all year round, apart from on all public holidays and also between 24th December-2nd January for Christmas/New Year. Students whose lessons fall on public holidays will be offered an alternative date for their lesson, or a recorded lesson.
6. PUNCTUALITY. Students are expected to arrive at their lessons on time. Students arriving late may have the remainder of their scheduled lesson, but missed time will not be added at the end of the lesson.
7. UNABLE TO ATTEND. If a student is unable to attend a lesson, you are able to request a live online lesson (via Zoom) or a recorded lesson, which will take place or be recorded in the students time slot. To request one of these options, you must give notice to DAOM before the lesson is due to commence. This notice can be made by email or phone, and you must receive an acknowledgment by DAOM of receiving your request before the lesson start time. The lesson can also be rearranged to another day within 30 days of the original lesson date, but this can only be offered if 7 days notice is given (giving enough time to offer the slot to another student) to DAOM. The rearranged lesson must also be booked at least 7 days before the original lesson date, and if there is not a suitable date to rearrange to, the lesson can be taken as a live online lesson, or recorded lesson.
8. CO-OPERATION. While DAOM will make every reasonable effort to improve the students knowledge and ability, the student cannot expect to improve unless they full co-operate with DAOM, and in particular, practise in the way DAOM advise.
9. VIDEOS & PHOTOS. Recording sessions are included as part of the Weekly Lessons. When a song or piece of music is learned, it will be recorded as a professional video. To showcase DAOM’s students’ achievements, and to promote services and events, photos are also taken from time to time. Videos and photos can sometimes be used on DAOM’s website, social media channels, and on promotional content. In agreeing to these terms and conditions, you give DAOM consent to use any videos and pictures of yourself taken by DAOM, for promotional purposes. You can opt out of this, by letting us know in writing. 
10. PAYMENTS. The first month of lessons is paid for before the first lesson, and further payments must be made on that same day of each month by Standing Order, ie. if the first payment was made on 16th June, a Standing Order must be set up for the 16th of each following month. If payment is not received on time, lessons will be postponed or terminated until the balance is paid in full. Payments are to be made by Bank Transfer to the following bank account: UK Drummers Limited, Sort Code: 30-94-30, Account Number: 41924360. Payment should reference the students first name and surname. 
11. TERMINATION. One calendar months written notice to DAOM is required for termination of lessons, ie. Notice of lessons given during a month, would mean the lessons would be terminated at the end of the following month.
