We reserve the right to offer your lesson or a make-up lesson with another vocal coach when your coach is not available. We seek your understanding in both cases.

Please refer to the table below for our cancellation policies, when cancellation of lessons is initiated by the school or coaches.

1) PUBLIC HOLIDAY / ANNUAL LEAVE / STUDIO CLOSURE

In cases where the coach cancels a lesson with last-minute notice, an extra full-duration lesson will be provided within 1 month.
