Private lessons are paid in advance for a whole public school term. This is usually ten weeks. This period cannot be altered except by special prior arrangement with Jazz Workshop Australia (JWA). Accounts must be settled by week 2 of term, or lessons will be suspended.

School terms

Our term dates coincide with the NSW public school calendar and we are open on pupil free days.
JWA is closed on public holidays. If your lesson falls on a public holiday you won’t be charged for that lesson.

Payments

Fees must be paid for one term in advance and are due within a week of your first lesson.
If you have financial difficulty funding a full term of lessons in advance, please speak to us and we will try to assist.
Unfortunately late payment may result in your lessons being cancelled until payment is received.
Cheques should be made payable to Jazz Workshop Australia Pty Limited or can be direct credited into our account. Contact us for account details.

Fees

The basic cost of lessons is $41 per half hour. The price gets lower the more lessons you buy in advance:

• Nine or more lessons in a term paid in advance: $41 per half hour lesson or $80 per hour for weekly 60 – minute lessons.
  Fees must be paid in full by 2nd week of term. Maximum of one reschedule available per term.
• Fewer than nine lessons in a term paid in advance: $45 per half hour lesson or $88 per hour for 60 – minute lessons.
  Fees must be paid in full by 2nd week of term. Maximum of one reschedule available per term.
• “Pay As You Go”, casual lessons paid on arrival: $50 per thirty minutes.
  No fixed lesson time, flexible scheduling, pay on the day.

Missed Lessons where a student cancels

If you are unable to make a lesson please notify us as soon as possible. We will try to reschedule one lesson per term if needed. We must receive at least 24 hours notice of a cancelled lesson or the lesson will automatically be forfeited. The more notice we receive the more chance there will be to reschedule the lesson!

Make up lessons must be taken in the same term as they missed.
Lessons missed in the last week of term will not be rescheduled unless we have 4 weeks notice.

Missed Lessons where a teacher cancels

In the event that a teacher has to miss a lesson we will provide a substitute teacher for that lesson. If a suitable substitute teacher cannot be arranged we may organise a make up lesson or credit a lesson to the following term.

Students enrol and are committed to the Jazz Workshop for a full term or the remainder of the term if the lessons commence after the start of term. If lessons are terminated at some stage during the term a refund will not be granted.

Ensemble Fees
Fees for combos and bands vary depending on the group. Full details are given on the relevant page, so you should check there. Ensembles usually run for 8 weeks per term. The fee is for membership of the group, not on a per-lesson basis. There is no refund for missed rehearsals. There may be a discount for late enrolment where a student joins mid-term.

Payment of fees confirms that you have read and accept the above terms and conditions.
