Terms & Conditions

Lessons are scheduled in blocks of three, four, or five sessions per month, depending on the calendar.

Payment is made at the beginning of each month to secure your lesson time.

Each lesson lasts 30 minutes and is charged at £18 per session, effective from 1st September 2026.

Belfast Drum Academy operates across four terms each year:

As term dates vary slightly each year, the number of lessons each month may differ.

We remain open on selected Public and Bank Holidays.

Each student may cancel one lesson per term without charge, provided at least 24 hours’ notice is given.

Any additional cancellations during the same term will be charged as normal, even if more than 24 hours’ notice is provided.

Lessons cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice, or missed without notice, will also be charged.

This policy helps us keep the timetable running smoothly and ensures fairness for all students.

Unfortunately, we are unable to offer refunds for missed lessons.

As our teaching timetable is usually fully booked, it isn’t always possible to reschedule missed lessons.

Where availability allows, we will always do our best to offer an alternative lesson, although this cannot be guaranteed.

Missed lessons cannot be carried forward into future months.

There is no obligation to attend lessons during school holidays.

If you know you will be away, we would greatly appreciate as much notice as possible.

Lessons will finish at the scheduled time, even if a student arrives late.

If you decide to take a break or stop lessons, we kindly ask for one month’s notice.

This allows us to offer your lesson time to another student on our waiting list.

If you need to contact your tutor, we kindly ask that calls or messages are made between 8:00am and 9:00pm, Monday to Friday, wherever possible.
