Unable to make all weeks of a course
You can come to each session of the Singing Course now as and when you are ready. Sessions will repeat throughout the year, just book when you know you can attend.
Cancellations by you for Workshops or Course Sessions
Sorry, we do not give refunds for cancellations. If you are unable to attend a Workshop or the first session of the Singing Course, you may give your place to a friend/collegue/family member as long as you let us know the name of the person you are giving it to before the workshop/session starts. If it is for any of the remaining sessions of the singing course you can cancel with at least 24hrs notice by text (or only in extreme circumstances there after) to be able to simply choose another date to replace the one you could not attend. Sessions will still need to be attended in order. With less than 24hrs notice by text you would have to pay to book a replacement session as the place that will not be able to attend will not be able to be filled with less than 24hrs notice.
Cancellations by you for 1-to-1 tuition
If you give at least 48hrs notice by text you can either (preferrably) simply book an alternative lesson or (if this is not possible) you will be refunded
