General Terms and conditions

In order to make the piano lessons as comfortable as possible, we ask you to respect the following rules:

Tryout Lesson


A trial lesson is only possible if there are free places and serves to get to know each other. The trial lesson is non-binding, an acceptance of futher piano lessons is only possible after mutual agreement.

Semester ticket

The semester ticket includes 18 lessons during the school semester (Jan-Feb and Feb-June). There are no lessons on days when school is not in session. The semester card guarantees a regular weekly lesson at a fixed time, therefore lessons not attended cannot be refunded. If you give us at least 48 hours notice, we can try to find an alternative date, depending on availability, but there is no fixed entitlement to this.

If a lesson cannot be attended by the teacher, an alternative date will be offered. If no alternative date is possible, the lesson will be refunded or credited. The teacher reserves the right to cancel 1-2 lessons per semester due to illness without any right to a refund. Any hours in excess of this will be refunded or credited.

If it is prohibited by law to hold face-to-face classes, classes will be switched to online. Online hours will be treated the same as face-to-face classes; no refunds will be given due to online classes or online classes not taken.


Block of Ten

The block of ten is valid for half a year from the date of issue. During this period we agree on 10 hours at a reduced price. The block of ten is non-refundable and we ask you to cancel arranged lessons at least 48 hours in advance, otherwise there is no right to a refund. Online lessons are treated the same as face-to-face lessons.
 

Piano Accompaniment/Coaching

Please let us know at least one week in advance which pieces you would like to work on in which key and send us the sheet music. If we do not receive the sheet music in time, we reserve the right to cancel or postpone the lesson. In this case the payment will be refunded. Please note the 48h cancellation rule.

Semester Concert

Once a semester you have the opportunity to perform at one of our popular semester concerts. Participation is voluntary.
By participating, you also agree to the publication of concert photos/short videos on our website or social media.


Summer School

The registration for the Summer School is binding after receipt of the registration confirmation. In case of cancellation up to 4 weeks before, no fees will be charged, up to 2 weeks before 50% of the course price, after that 100% of the course price. A credit for the next year's Summer School or for piano lessons during the year is possible. Participation in the final concert is by arrangement with the teachers only. With your participation you agree to the publication of concert photos/short videos on our website or social media.
