Our last day of teaching this term is Friday 24th July and we would like to say a huge thank you to all of our students and parents for their continued support this year. We have received some great feedback from you on the benefits of being able to continue learning online throughout the uncertain times of the last few months. If you would like to leave a review for us, it is always very much appreciated - links below for Facebook and Google.

Direct Debit Payments
As many of you will be aware, the monthly lesson fee payments made through Go Cardless are spread over the course of twelve months and are continuous. There will still be a payment on 1st August for all students as this covers the total number of weeks we teach during the academic year. Please refer to our example which explains in more detail how fees are charged.
Plans for next Term
We are hopeful that we can resume some face to face lessons at the Music School in September. Plans will continue over the next few weeks and we will update all students via email and social media on how and when we can safely return. There may be some timetable changes and measures put in place in order for us to comply with required social distancing measures. Some group sessions may need to continue online if our space cannot allow the distancing measures required and we will of course notify you in advance of any changes.
Term Dates
New term dates for 2020-2021 can be found on our website. As a reminder, we guarantee 43 lessons each academic year, closing only for Christmas, Easter and Summer. We teach through half terms.
Exams
This term, some of our students have still been able to take their exams through video assessments. An exam session with Rock School is scheduled to take place this weekend at the music school with students taking both vocal and keyboard exams. We plan to have another session for Rock School exams in November or December and will update you when we have further information regarding Trinity College Exams.
Please get in touch if you have any questions and we hope you can enjoy the summer break.
Many Thanks & Stay Safe
