All pupils are expected to practice for a minimum of 20 minutes a day (or a total of 2 hours 20 mins per week). This is the absolute bare minimum required as generally speaking to progress at a good rate, 45 mins to an hour a day of purposeful practice is recommended. Please do not commence lessons if you/your child is unable to practice for at least 20 minutes a day.
Once a pupil has seen the benefits of the school’s teaching, referrals to potential clients are gratefully received

All pupils are invoiced on the 1st of every month for all lessons scheduled. Invoice to be paid by the 7th of every month.
Payment must be made via the payment link within each invoice
Booking and rearranging lessons to be carried out via james@jsmusicschool.co.uk
Js Music School operates all year round so lessons continue during school holidays/ + bank holidays. Pupils are welcome to rearrange slots in the school holidays or for personal holidays providing sufficient notice is given
If looking to book an evening slot (anytime after 3:30pm), these will need to be on a weekly basis.

We will not be able to refund cancellations made within 24 hours for any reason, as it is unlikely that we would be able to fill the slot
From July 1st to June 30th each year, pupils are allowed 6 non-chargeable cancellations (separate from the 24 hours policy) . If pupils go beyond this 6 limit they will be charged for any future missed lessons until this time period is over. This is to ensure as much consistency as possible for regular slots.
A pro rata basis will apply for those starting lessons later in this cancellation period

Pupils are expected to arrive in good time for the lessons so that they are ready to start for their scheduled start time.
If a parent / guardian is responsible for picking up their son/daughter from a lesson, it is helpful to arrive 5 minutes before the lesson is due to end.
If the pupil turns up for example 10 minutes early and there is currently no lesson on, the lesson can start straight away, but will finish 10 minutes earlier than normal.

Pupils are expected to have a plectrum/pick with them for every lesson plus a few spares
Pupils are expected to have the guitar in tune for every lesson
Phones are switched off in lessons
In our house, we take our shoes off at the door

Js Music School thrives when it sees its pupil’s progress. The school attracts and continues to attract committed pupils who want to keep improving. If I feel that another teacher in the local area may be better for yourself/son or daughter then I will provide contact details. Different teachers have their own speciality and style, whether it be rock, classical, acoustic, or a specific technique.

Once a year, Js Music School stages an event to showcase the pupils progress, and to provide them with opportunities of playing in a band situation. These events have been brilliant experiences for the pupils, and has provided a great day out for the families and friends of the performers.

Js Music School insists on being the sole tutor for guitar lessons for all pupils. If pupils have lessons with another teacher, they may be asked to cease having lessons with Jsmusicschool.
