AMS Music Centre will not offer a refund on cancellation of lessons. Paid lessons are redeemable by any relative or pal within the year.

With a late notification of absence (less than 24 hours), the lesson can be re-scheduled provided there is a valid medical certificate. Please keep in mind that the make-up lessons throughout the school term or school holidays may be arranged with a different teacher.

If after a make-up lesson has been booked and a new enrollment is made for the exact same slot, preference will be given to the new enrollment and the existing student will be offered another time for the make-up lesson.

Where a number of lessons in a row are missed due to major medical conditions, a credit toward lessons for the following term may be granted. A valid medical certificate should be provided. A refund of charges is not given under any scenario.

The make-up lesson policy only applies to individual classes, group classes which include students from the very same household and early morning group classes for pre-school aged children. We do not offer make-up lessons to group classes with children from different households.

Replacement Teacher
If your teacher, for some reason, suddenly terminates his/her employment at AMS Music Centre during the term, we will organise a replacement teacher for the rest of the term.

A refund will not be offered unless there is no replacement teacher available to continue classes.

Late Start
When a lesson is started late due to the student’s late arrival, the lesson will be finished on time and no make-up time will be offered. When a lesson is started late due to the teacher’s late arrival, the lesson will be completed on time and a make-up lesson for the time that was missed out on will be provided.

Trial Lessons
AMS Music Centre provides Trial Music Lesson to any age. Students can have more than one trial lesson with different teachers. The purpose of a trial lesson is to find the best-suited teacher to continue with.
