of lesson/s. A student is only REFUNDED their money (on request) if the cancellation of their course
study occurs prior to the established date of the first lesson commencement. It is every student’s
responsibility to ensure their presence at each exact given lesson date and time. Any lateness on

developmental vocal results when there is:

    work achieved in completed lessons by the Teacher)
