Term 4 Drawing to a close

Well another term and another year is drawing to a close. Thanks to all students and their families for another great year of teaching guitar! Regular lessons will finish up on Friday the 8th of December for the holiday season, and resume again on Monday 22nd January. I will be available for casual lessons at various times in January and December – send me an email to rob@robsguitarschool.com if you would like to book in a time!

Also guitar lesson gift certificates are a perfect gift idea…email me on as above if you would like to enquire!

In the meantime, I wish all students and their families the best of the festive season, and look forward to seeing you all again in the new year.

Regards

Rob

Teaching Resumes for the 3rd Term

I have been having a well earned break during he school holidays…but now looking forward to teaching resuming on Monday 10th July. This term will go through until Friday 15th September.

New Invoicing Look
During the holidays I have been busy trying to set up some new software to manage my teaching timetable and invoicing. So you will notice a change in the way invoices look! It’s possible that some things might get overlooked in the transition, so if there’s a problem with the invoice, lesson time or term fees, please send me an email and I will resolve it!

Make up lessons
The new system should also make it easier to organise and coordinate make up lessons. My policy on make up lessons is that I am happy to reschedule a lesson if an alternative time can be found…however I do request at least 24 hours notice, so that your vacated slot can be offered to someone else. Up till now, I have coordinated this through texts, emails and phone calls. With the new software, it will be managed through an online student portal! More details when it’s all up and going!

Family Accounts
For families with two or more students taking lessons, my practice has been to issue an invoice for each student, with the second one payable halfway through the term. With the new system, this has proved a step too far for my computer skills, so for those families, please feel free to split the invoice into two payments, with the second one due prior to week 6. I will issue you a new statement with balance remaining on receipt of your first payment!

Fees for this Term
Fees are $38 per lesson when paid by the lesson, or $31 per lesson when paid by the term. These fees are very competitive for quality professional tuition, especially if you take advantage of the generous discount for paying up front for the term.

So welcome back to all returning students, and a welcome to new students.

Regards,
Rob

For those coming from The Gap, be aware that Camp Mt Rd has two intersections with Samford Rd.

I hope everyone is having a good holiday! Term 2 begins on Monday 15th April, and continues through to Saturday 22nd June. Students will have ten lessons this term, except that Monday students and Thursday students will have nine lessons due to public holidays (ANZAC Day and Queen’s Birthday).

I look forward to seeing all students again next term!

Teaching Dates: 2013

The end of the year is upon us, and teaching has finished for 2012. Thanks to all my students for a great year of learning guitar! Teaching will get underway again for 2013 on Tuesday the 29th January. All current students will receive an email and invoice in mid January! First term next year is a short one: due to public holidays combined with the term length, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday students will have 9 weeks, while other students will have an 8 week term.

In the mean-time, have a great festive season, and remember to keep practicing!

Cheers,
Rob
