Schedule
We do not have access to each student’s school timetable, so we are unable to guarantee specific lesson times. However, if there is a particular day you would prefer to avoid, please let us know so we can allocate the most suitable teacher.
Parents will receive a copy of the lesson schedule so students can remember when their lesson is. BFSM teachers may contact the classroom if a student has not arrived for their lesson. Please note that missed lesson minutes due to late arrival are not the responsibility of BFSM.
Specialists classes will be avoided when scheduling lessons.
Absences
BFSM operates with a 24-hour cancellation policy. If a lesson is cancelled with at least 24 hours notice, it can be rescheduled or credited.
If a lesson is missed without sufficient notice, the lesson cannot be rescheduled or credited. If a suitable time cannot be arranged, the lesson will be credited to the following term’s invoice.
If MPS schedules an event that clashes with a lesson, the lesson will not be taught or charged. If you would like to organise a make-up lesson for these missed days, please contact your teacher. If a time is available, the lesson can be delivered and a separate invoice will be issued by your teacher.
Goal Setting
Lessons are tailored to each student’s individual goals and interests.
Students join music lessons for many different reasons, and we support them whether they wish to:
build confidence
prepare for AMEB exams
perform (BFSM host concerts at the end of every term)
record music
learn songwriting
or simply enjoy making music
In shared lessons, goals may be set for the group, while still supporting individual learning preferences.
