Frequently Asked Questions

Q : Why do you require students to be of certain age to join the courses?

A : We believe in timely music education. The Yamaha music courses are designed to maximize the development of potential at each stage (age), and the age requirement is in place to ensure that students will not be disadvantaged due to disparity in mental and physical maturity.


Q : Should I enroll for group or individual lesson if I am a beginner?

A : It depends on your learning preference. Some people prefer the dynamics of group class and find it motivating while others prefer the pace of 1-to-1 lessons. It may be helpful for you to know that individual lessons are conducted during weekdays, with the exception of Yamaha Pianoforte Course.


Q : Does sibling of a current student get priority to enroll in course?

A : Enrolment is on a first-come-first-serve basis and priority is not given to any party.


Q : Will lessons that fall on Public Holidays be replaced? Will lessons missed be replaced?

A : Lessons will not be conducted during the Yamaha Term Holidays and on the gazetted Public Holidays. There is, strictly, no replacement of lessons. Lessons that are missed will not be replaced.


Q : Can I transfer my lesson to someone else if I can’t attend it? Can I get a refund of the lesson that I cannot attend?

A : No, lessons are not transferable nor refundable.


Q : What are the fees that I have to pay to enroll in a course?

A : In addition to course fee, there are the registration fee and a deposit of $150 if you decide to opt out of GIRO fee payment scheme. Your deposit will be returned to you, if there is no outstanding fee, when you graduate from or terminate the course.


Q : When is the course fee payable?

A : Most course fees are payable monthly or before the commencement of each term (3 months). To confirm your place in the class, we would need you to make payment for the first month/term/2months fee upon registration.

GIRO deduction is done between the 4th to the 6th day of every month/term/2months. If the GIRO deduction is unsuccessful, we will inform you to make payment over the counter. A GIRO surcharge of $5 (subjected to GST) is applicable.

For non-GIRO payment, course fee is due on the last day of every preceding month/term. Payment made after the due date is considered as late payment and an admin fee of $5 (subjected to GST) is applicable.


Q : How do I terminate my course?

A : For termination of course, please give the School a 1 calendar month notice. (For example, if your last month of attendance is in December, you are required inform the school in writing by 30th November.)

For termination of course before class commencement, the course fee and deposit, if any, will be returned to you once you have completed the procedures. The registration fee is non-refundable.
