Organisation of Music Lessons
Lessons of 40 minutes duration are given weekly on a cycle of 30 throughout the academic year, charged as 12, 10 and 8 lessons in the Michaelmas, Lent and Summer terms respectively. Occasionally it may not be possible to fit in the full allocation of lessons exactly as above in each individual term but the full 30 will be given during the course of the academic year or an appropriate refund given.
Owing to the Fifth and Sixth Form pupils undergoing public examinations and study leave in the Summer term the overall number of lessons given is 24 (27 for Lower Sixth Form). Extra lessons beyond the standard number will be billed separately.
