7.     Musical instruments and parental responsibility

7.1. Children must be accompanied by a parent or carer at all times where the child is aged three and under.

7.2.  In our classes we use real musical instruments.  We regularly test our equipment for durability, but all our instruments must be played under supervision, following the directions given to adults by your teacher. We cannot be held responsible for any misuse of the instruments outside of this supervision. Please exercise all due care and diligence when supervising small children with any instruments that contain small parts. Musical instruments are not made to withstand misuse of any kind, including eating, thrashing, bashing, beating or thumping. By booking a class for a child aged three and under you are confirming that you are happy to participate and supervise children with the instruments throughout the session to ensure they are used safely.  If a teacher observes a child endangering themselves or others during the session, they will remove the instrument from the child but parents or carers remain in loco parentis and primarily liable for such supervision. Parents/carers remain at all times solely responsible for the welfare, safety, care and conduct of their child.

7.3. One parent or carer must remain at the venue (but not necessarily in the classroom) and be available at all times during the sessions where the child is aged four or over.

Never leave nappies in an open bin (including those within the venue grounds).

11.2.  We are not liable for additional costs due to changes in courses, content, venues or teachers. Every effort will be made to provide reasonable notice where possible.

11.3.  Should you need to change class venues or times we will do our utmost to accommodate you, but unfortunately cannot guarantee it.

Places must be booked though our site or via the indicated online ticketing platform and paid online in advance of the class.  Customers who join will receive an email explaining how to join the class after booking.

12.4.  In such circumstances, there might be a delay before we can recommence the classes, having made reasonable efforts to limit the effect of any of those events and having reasonably kept you advised of the circumstances, but we will attempt to recommence the classes as soon as those events have been resolved.  If a class is cancelled because of such an event, we shall inform you of the time, date and venue of a mutually convenient alternative class for you to attend, for which you shall not be required to pay an additional fee.
