Make up lessons
Unfortunately, lessons lost due to student illness or school activities cannot be made up. Circumstances such as long-term illness etc. can be discussed with The Soundgarage Manager and appropriate arrangements can be made.
If, for reasons beyond the control of Soundgarage, such as school closures, building programs etc. we are unable to access our teaching spaces, this may affect the number of lessons we are able to offer.
