I also offer support beyond the lesson:

📜 Terms & Conditions

Students are required to maintain at all times a minimum credit balance equivalent to one lesson in order to ensure uninterrupted tuition. Any cancellation or request to reschedule must be made with no less than 48 hours’ notice; where insufficient notice is provided, the lesson fee will be charged in full, and the reserved time slot may be offered to another student. Lessons missed without notice, or lessons in which the student is unable to participate due to the absence of essential materials—such as books, folders or other required resources—may also incur the full lesson fee. For students under the age of eighteen, a parent or responsible adult must be present during all lessons, whether delivered in person at the student’s home or conducted online. Tuition fees paid in advance are non-refundable in the event that the student cancels their lessons entirely, as advance payments secure tuition at a discounted rate and cannot be reimbursed once purchased. Any complimentary or “free” lessons offered, including those obtained through referral schemes, will correspond to the student’s standard lesson duration. Kevin Barr Music accepts no responsibility for any third-party purchases, equipment choices or related decisions made on the basis of guidance or recommendations provided. Tuition for ABRSM and Trinity College London examinations is offered only where the student intends to take their exam in person at an approved examination centre; tuition is not provided for online-only examination entries.
