Late Arrivals: Please ensure you arrive on time for your scheduled lesson. If you arrive late, the lesson will still finish at the scheduled time to respect the next student’s booking, and the full lesson fee will still apply. Unfortunately, we cannot extend the lesson to make up for any time missed due to lateness. Importance of Regular Attendance: Regular attendance is key in vocal training. Consistent lessons help us monitor your development and provide essential feedback, which is crucial for building technique and confidence. Irregular attendance may hinder your progress and growth as a singer.

Lesson Environment: To maintain a focused and productive lesson, we ask that all students come to lessons fully prepared, with any materials or music needed for the session. Phone-Free Zone: All students are required to keep their mobile phones on silent mode and stored away during the lesson. This ensures that the focus remains on the music and learning. Exceptions for Emergencies: If a student is expecting an urgent call (e.g., from a family member), they must inform the teacher before the lesson begins. In such cases, the phone may be kept on vibrate mode, and the student can step outside to take the call. Use for Learning Purposes: Mobile phones may only be used during lessons with the teacher's permission, such as for recording parts of the lesson (see Media & Recording Policy) or accessing music-related content. Consequences of Non-Compliance: If a student is found using their phone without permission during the lesson, they will receive a warning. Repeated offences may result in the student being asked to leave the lesson. Parent Involvement: Observation Welcome: Parents are welcome to attend their child’s lessons for students under the age of 16 to observe their progress and support their musical development. Quiet Observation: While observing, parents must remain quiet and avoid interruptions during the lesson. This allows the student to fully focus and ensures that the lesson runs smoothly. Respecting the Learning Environment: If a parent becomes disruptive or causes a distraction, the teacher may ask them to leave the lesson room to maintain a positive and productive learning environment for the student. Communication with the Teacher: If parents have questions or concerns, they are encouraged to discuss them with the teacher by email. Please avoid discussing these matters during the lesson to prevent interruptions to the student's focus. Practice Expectations: Regular practice is essential for progress. Students are expected to follow the teacher's instructions regarding their practice routine. Typically, this may involve practising at least 5 days a week for a minimum of 15-20 minutes per session, or as directed by the teacher. Consistent effort between lessons ensures steady improvement and helps students reach their goals more effectively. Respectful Conduct: We are committed to maintaining a positive, respectful, and supportive environment for all students and teachers. Verbal abuse, aggressive behaviour, or disrespect toward the teacher or other students will not be tolerated. If any such behaviour occurs, you will be asked to leave the lesson immediately, and further action may be taken to ensure the safety and wellbeing of everyone in the studio.

Holiday/Studio Closures: The studio will be closed during specific holidays and breaks throughout the year. We will notify students at least 2 weeks in advance of any scheduled closures via email or other communication methods, such as our website or social media. These closures may include major holidays (e.g., Christmas, New Year’s, Easter), summer breaks, or any other planned time off. During these times, lessons will not take place, and any affected lessons will either be rescheduled, credited to your account, or a refund will be issued upon request. Teacher Absences: If the teacher needs to cancel a lesson due to illness, emergencies, or other unforeseen circumstances, students will be notified as soon as possible. In such cases, the lesson will either be rescheduled at a mutually convenient time, credited to your account, or a refund will be issued, if preferred. We aim to minimise disruptions and maintain a consistent schedule for all students.

At Rebecca Reid Singing Studio, we prioritise the health and wellbeing of all our students and teachers. If you are feeling unwell or exhibiting any symptoms of illness, we kindly ask that you reschedule or cancel your lesson. This is especially important to protect not only your own voice but also the health of others in the studio. Request to Reschedule: If you are experiencing any symptoms of illness, please contact us as soon as possible to discuss rescheduling your lesson. We encourage you to give us at least 24 hours' notice whenever possible, in compliance with our Cancellation, Rescheduling, and No-Show Policies. Health Considerations: Students are encouraged to take care of their health. Singing while sick can increase the risk of vocal injury and hinder your recovery. It’s better to take the time needed to heal fully before returning to lessons. We appreciate your cooperation in maintaining a healthy learning environment for everyone at the studio.
