FOR BAND COACHING:

By joining a band, you agree to stay enrolled until the end of each term. This is to ensure that the band is able to continue working towards their end of term performances. For example, if a five piece band has one drummer and they drop out two weeks before a performance, this will seriously affect the other students in the band. There are no makeup sessions or refunds available for Band Coaching sessions, however if Oxfordshire Music School have to cancel a session a full refund will be given.

Due to limited spaces on each course, we request that you give at least 30 days notice for a cancellation. You may cancel by contacting the office by phone or via email. For example: John Does's GoCardless payment is paid on the 1st of every month. He cancels on October 15th. He then receives 4 more weeks of lessons and leaves on 12th of November. His November payment is prorated accordingly.
