Cancellation

We understand that unforeseen circumstances may arise that prevent students from attending their scheduled music lessons. However, to maintain the quality of our music program, the livelihoods of our teachers, and ensure that all students receive the attention they deserve, we have established the following cancellation policy:

Cancellation by the Customer: 

  • Cancellations require 24 hours’ notice and can be done through Opus1.io, phone, text, or email. We prefer cancellations and make-up lesson bookings through Opus1.io for efficiency.
  • Customers cancelling lessons within the 24 hr non-cancellation period will receive a personalized video lesson and or resources in lieu of the appointment (team and school lessons excluded). 
  • No rescheduling, crediting or video lessons are provided for unnotified absences or “no shows”. In this case, the lesson is forfeited.
  • We offer a lesson via Zoom if a student is unable to attend iROCKHQ in person. Please notify us as soon as possible if you need us to set this up.
  • Regular attendance is crucial for our students’ progress. Each term, students receive an average of 10 sessions, depending on the term’s length. Those who stay with us for 12 or more months can expect about 40 lessons in a year and will achieve the best results.

Lesson Credits:

  • Customers cancelling lessons outside the 24 hr non-cancellation period will either be rescheduled straight away or issued with a make-up lesson credit to be used within 4 weeks of the cancellation after which will expire.
  • Up to two lesson credits may be held at a time when cancelled at least 24 hours in advance (credit limits and expiration are in place to ensure active engagement and facilitate scheduling)
  • Customers are responsible for rebooking lesson credits cancelled by them prior to the end of each credit expiry period. This can be done in Opus1.io, by phone, text, email or at reception.
  • Make-up lessons/credits cannot be rescheduled.
  • Lesson credits cannot be used as credits towards next the month or term’s fees.
  • Concert performances are counted as one lesson credit.
  • See reception for a credit if a public holiday falls on your regular lesson day.

Cancellation by Teacher or iRMS:

  • If your teacher is unavailable for a lesson, we will find a suitable replacement or reschedule when necessary. While we may not always provide advance notice, we’ll make reasonable efforts to do so and notify you through email or specified channels.
  • The school reserves the right to modify or cancel any class, lesson, or program due to insufficient enrolment, facility availability, or other unforeseen circumstances.

Exiting Students and/or Pausing Membership:

  • Written notice should be submitted at least two weeks before the end of the final month for pausing lessons or exiting our program.
  • Refunds, if applicable, will be processed at our discretion. This may include administrative fees or deductions based on the number of lessons attended.
  • No refunds will be issued after the exiting and withdrawal process is complete.
  • Credits previously applied to an account will expire after the withdrawal process is complete.

iROCK@School:

In addition to applicable points above:

  • iROCK@School offers a convenient payment plan with 3 equal instalments due on the first of each month during a term (e.g., Jan, Feb, and Mar for T1). The number of lessons received each term varies from 8 to 10, but payment instalments remain the same to evenly spread the overall cost. On average, students can expect 32-40 lessons per year, depending on attendance. Each term guarantees a minimum of 8 lessons, and any additional lessons beyond this are considered bonus lessons.
  • For individual absences, no catch-up lessons or credits will be provided. However, for major school events, the entire group may receive replacement/catch-up lessons. Lessons missed due to major school events will be made up in the final week of the term on a mutually agreed-upon day.
  • Lessons will be organized in small groups of 2-4 students, ideally with similar grades or instruments. Any changes to the iROCK@School timetable will be communicated to schools and families through Opus1.io at least one week prior to the updates taking effect.

Please note:

  • While we try to avoid conflicts, unforeseeable situations may arise. This policy allows us to offer school-based lessons at a lower cost. On rare occasions, if a tutor is unavailable, alternate days will be provided for group lessons. We thank you for your understanding and cooperation as it helps us manage our schedule and provide the best learning experience for all students.

  • Please avoid parking in the limited parking spaces outside the cafe on Whitfield Blvd.

Practise, Reward Systems and Student Folders

Consistent practice is essential for students to succeed on any instrument. Without regular practice, learners are unlikely to make progress, and in most cases, students who fail to practice regularly each week are likely to give up altogether:

  • To avoid this outcome, we highly recommend using the practice diary provided in your student folder:
    • Students receiving regular lessons at iROCKHQ or online receive their folder in the form of a Google Drive link for regular access. Teachers keep notes from each lesson in the folder as well as upload and save all music, curriculum and video associated with the learning. Please let reception know asap if you cannot access your folder or are missing updates.
    • Students receiving lessons as part of the iROCK@School programs receive a physical folder which will be updated with new resources as required. Teacher updates on the lessons occur on a weekly basis through Opus. Please contact us if you are not receiving updates on the lessons asap so that we can assist.
    • We suggest that all students and teachers use the resources provided within the folder for creating a practise routine, documenting practise, choosing songs, setting goals and documenting all lessons and learning. Use of these resources has always produced the best results for our students.
  • For adult learners or parents, guardians, and caregivers of children, we suggest setting up reward systems to motivate and encourage consistent practice. These rewards can serve as incentives to maintain dedication and engagement in the learning process.
  • As parents, guardians, and caregivers, supporting your children’s musical journey is a valuable gift that can enhance their cognitive, emotional, and social development. Encouraging consistent practice between lessons is essential for progress and enjoyment. However, motivating kids to practice their musical instrument at home can be challenging. This document aims to provide practical ideas and strategies to foster their enthusiasm and dedication.
  • As an adult learner, your commitment to mastering a musical instrument is commendable. Creating effective practice routines between music lessons is crucial for achieving significant progress and maximizing the value of your learning experience. This document provides valuable tips to help you design efficient and rewarding practice sessions throughout the week.
