Refunds for Term Booking Absences: A doctor's certificate is necessary if you're permanently unable to fulfil a term booking and seek a refund.
Students
In compliance with our terms and conditions, we ask for prior notification if you're unable to attend your scheduled lesson. Adhering to the specified behaviour guidelines, please inform us accordingly. Your cooperation is appreciated to ensure smooth scheduling processes.
Medical Absences:
If, for any reason, you're unable to attend your scheduled lesson, please let us know in advance. For absences due to illness, we kindly ask that you provide a doctor's certificate showing a statement that you are not well enough to attend, and which dates that will affect.
You will need to make this available as soon as possible so we can schedule around your changes. A quick snap or screenshot of the document via a phone message 0411 446 507, The Signal app, or email guitarlessonsadelaide@outlook.com will suffice in most cases. If you don’t have access to such technology, then simply bring your certificate to the next lesson.
If you do not wish to attend a doctor, there are online services that can assist you with a certificate, such as Doctors on Demand:

Your well-being and safety, along with that of our staff and fellow students, are our utmost priority.
Arranging No-Fee Absences:
By Pre Arrangement: You can pre-arrange no-fee absences either at the beginning of the term or with at least a two-week notice, whichever provides more flexibility for you.
Rescheduling Encouraged: Whenever possible, consider rescheduling to avoid non-attendance fees. We want to support you in getting the most out of your lessons.
Please note: Rescheduling is defined as organising the missed lesson for another time during that lesson week or fortnight. It does not include leaving the booking time to the next due lesson. Leaving the lesson time to the next due booking is a cancellation, and must be duly paid for, as set out in the fees section below.
No-Show Policy: In case of a no-show without prior contact, the full fee will be applicable.
Short Notice Absences: Absences with less than 24 hours' notice will incur the full fee.
Graduated Holding and Absentee Fees: Depending on the notice period for non-attendance:
In the event of a no-show on your booking and no contact, the full fee must be paid.

Lesson dates for no-fee absences: Bookings can be pre-arranged at the beginning of the term, or two weeks in advance; whichever is the greater.

Multiple Abenses: Such as holidays, and life events. Finally, if you require multiple absences, please let us know at least two weeks in advance. We are happy to waive your fee for a maximum of three absence notices.
Lesson Start and Finish Times:
Respect for all students is an effort that comes from the teacher, and from other students. There may be times when an extra few minutes is required for a student to absorb a lesson fully. This respect is given to every student.
RR is accommodating with this whenever it is required so that all students can make the most of their lessons.
It is recommended that students allow a small amount of flex time (up to 15 minutes) for the start and finish of each lesson.
RR does his best to run to schedule, however, timing-to-the-minute never takes priority over student needs, or self-empowerment training, or creative and positive habits.
It is important that support workers and helpers understand these policies and assist in upholding these ideals.
