PHOTO AND RECORDING POLICY

Music Art Academy reserves the right, and may give permission to appropriate staff or outside media, to photograph and record (video or audio) classes, programs, and participants at all our facilities and properties. These photos or recordings, will be used for promotional purposes. By participating in Music Art Academy´s programs, you consent to the video or audio recording or taking of photographs for these purposes. 

EXAMINATIONS/ COMPETITIONS and CONCERTS

The teacher may recommend students for a practical music examination/ competition or concert when they are ready. It can serve as a motivation for students to work hard toward a goal. However, some students progress better without additional pressure of examinations or concerts. Therefore a careful decision is made, only after consultation between the teacher and the parent/student. 

THEORY EXAMINATIONS

Music theory is an integral part of music study. Students who are ready to take the theory examination will be encouraged to do so. 

CHILD SAFETY

To ensure your children’s safety, please be sure to pick them up promptly after lesson time. Music Art Academy teachers and staff are not responsible to supervise children in the waiting room or anywhere on school property before or after lessons. Children are under supervision of the teacher during their instruction time, in the classroom only.

• If you have planned absences, you can email      us at least 4 weeks in advance and we may give you one replacement lesson per      year. However, we do not guarantee replacement lessons; our teachers are      not obligated to give replacement lessons should you decide to miss      lessons.
• You cannot deduct the term tuition fee and      pay less than the amount on the invoice without consulting the Music Art      Academy director.

To give students more opportunities to perform in a group or ensemble with a relaxed environment, we give the possibilities to play or sing a small, casual performance session/s.

The Academy Concerts are twice a year, exclusively for current Music Art Academy students. It is a family event where students are welcome to invite families and friends. Students are strongly advised to participate in concerts. This is an excellent opportunity for students to perform in a non-competitive and friendly environment. It also helps to build students’ confidence in sharing their music with others.

GROUP PERFORMANCE
To give students more opportunities to perform in a group or ensemble with a relaxed environment, we give the possibilities to play or sing a small, casual performance session/s once a year.
