• Pupils will usually be expected to provide their own instruments through the various schemes of loan, hire or private ownership. Ask us about locally recommended music shops and advice on buying instruments. Some instruments (Tuba, Trombone, Euphonium, French Horn, Violin, Viola, Flute, Clarinet, Bassoon, Alto & Tenor Saxophones) may be available to hire from the Harrogate Grammar School music department at a very low cost. (This hire facility is only available to students at Harrogate Grammar School at present).
  

• Ask for details on instruments currently available.

• Payment for tuition is due in advance; parents or pupils will be billed by email (when possible) for the next term’s lessons at the middle of each term. (Term 1: October; Term 2: February; Term 3: May).

• If a pupil misses a lesson, the fee for that lesson will still be charged, unless 24 hours advanced notice of absence has been given to the teacher. A cancelled lesson due to absence on the part of the teacher will either be credited to the following term or re-arranged for later in the term. It is advisable to ensure that you and the teacher have each others telephone numbers.
  

• The Music School is open during school term time only.
  

• Cheques should be made payable to “Harrogate Music School” (with the pupils name written on the reverse) and mailed to Mr. Kemp (NOT given to the teacher) at the Music School Address. Please try to avoid having the students 'hand in' the money at school. There have been numerous occasions recently where the cheques have never made it to their intended destination due to being left in the bottom of a school bag!
  

• A registration fee of £10 will be paid by each pupil on joining the music school.
  

• Neither the Music School or the Grammar School can be held responsible for any accident, theft or damage that may occur on the premises.
  

• Four lessons notice (or equal pay) in writing to both the teacher and the principal of the Music School is required for termination of tuition. This is so that we can rearrange teaching schedules and organise new pupils from any waiting lists.

Enjoy your music making!!!!
