Booking & Cancellation Policy

At Dover Guitar Teacher, we believe in keeping things clear, fair, and respectful — for both you and your instructor. Our policy helps ensure that everyone’s time is valued and lessons run smoothly.

🎸 Trial Lesson

All new students begin with a single paid trial lesson.
This gives you a no-pressure opportunity to see if the lessons suit your goals and learning style.

🔒 Weekly Lesson Booking

If you’d like to continue after the trial:

Your preferred weekly slot will be secured by paying for 4 lessons in advance.
This block must be paid before your second lesson to confirm ongoing bookings.

🔁 Cancellations & Rescheduling

To maintain a fair schedule for all students:

48 hours notice is required to cancel or reschedule any lesson.
Cancellations made with less than 48 hours’ notice will be charged in full.
If more than 48 hours’ notice is given, your lesson can be rescheduled or credited.

📩 If I Need to Cancel

In the rare case I need to cancel a lesson, I’ll always offer you either:

A full refund for the missed lesson, or
A rescheduled lesson at a time that works for you.
