Purpose and Acceptance of Policies
This document outlines the official policies, terms, and conditions governing all programs offered by Foundation 7 Music School. These policies are designed to ensure a safe, structured, respectful, and effective learning environment for all students.
By completing the online registration and selecting "I agree to the Terms and Conditions," parents, guardians, and adult students acknowledge that they have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these policies.
Course Information
Age Eligibility
Foundation 7 Music School provides instruction to:
- Children aged 4 years and older
- Adults of all ages
Course Levels and Duration
Course Categories, Age Groups, and Fees
Current course fees, optional exam entry packages, and level assessment fees are published on the Course Fees page. Ages shown are a guide; students are placed on readiness. There is no separate registration or administration fee. Optional board examinations are paid separately.
Specialized Programs
All listed instruments, including violin, use the standard level fees published on the Course Fees page.
Keyboard and drums are available at the school for lessons. Students are strongly encouraged to own or have regular access to their instrument at home. The programme is practical; completing a level on time usually depends on consistent practice, which the school cannot guarantee without an instrument at home.
Payment Policy
- All payments must be made on or before the commencement of classes
- Monthly payments are due by the first week of each month
- Registration fees are included in the stated course costs
- Cash at the Diamond office, MMG 657-8404, or Republic Bank 100000157839
Failure to meet payment obligations may result in suspension of classes until the account is brought up to date.
Refund & Credit Policy
Fees are non-refundable once a term or month has commenced. Where a student withdraws before commencement and provides written notice, a credit toward a future enrolment may be considered at the school's discretion. Credits are not transferable to another student.
For term advance payments, cancellation requests submitted at least 7 days before the term start date may be eligible for a partial credit, less any administrative costs incurred. No credit will be issued after the term has begun.
Attendance and Make-Up Class Policy
Student Absences
- Regular attendance is essential for progress and is the responsibility of the student and/or parent or guardian
- If a student is unable to attend a scheduled class without providing notice, the school is not obligated to offer a make-up class, credit, or fee adjustment
Excused Absences
- If a reasonable excuse is provided at least 24 hours in advance, the possibility of rescheduling will be considered at the sole discretion of the school
- Approval depends on instructor availability
- Approval of a make-up class is not guaranteed
School-Initiated Cancellations
If Foundation 7 Music School cancels a class for any reason, the session will be made up at a later date or rescheduled in consultation with the student and instructor.

Saturday option

Student Progress and Learning Outcomes
Foundation 7 Music School is committed to providing high-quality instruction and structured learning experiences. Student progress depends on several factors:
Consistent attendance
Access to required instrument
Regular practice outside class
Individual aptitude & pace
Adherence to instructor guidance
Student Conduct and School Rules
To maintain a safe and respectful environment, all students are expected to adhere to the following rules:
- No use of profanity, abusive language, or inappropriate behavior
- No possession of weapons, illegal substances, or dangerous items
- Respect for instructors, staff, fellow students, and school property
- Compliance with all classroom and facility guidelines
Violations Policy: Repeated or serious violations may result in suspension or removal from the program. No refunds or credits will be issued in cases of suspension or removal due to misconduct.
Parental Involvement and Communication
Parents and guardians are encouraged to support their child's learning; however:
- Parents are respectfully asked not to interfere with lessons or disrupt instructional time
- All concerns, questions, or requests must be directed through administrative personnel, not instructors during class sessions
This policy ensures a focused learning environment and consistent communication.

Privacy
Foundation 7 Music School collects only the information needed to place students, communicate with families, and administer classes. This typically includes names, dates of birth, email addresses, WhatsApp or mobile numbers, emergency contacts for students under 18, and, where you choose to send them, payment confirmations or placement videos.
Placement videos and supporting documents are reviewed by Foundation 7 administrative and teaching staff only. They are used to confirm the right level or teaching application. We do not publish student videos. Files are kept only as long as needed for placement and school records, then removed on request where the law allows.
