Instruments do not become the property of contest winners until after the completion of ten weeks of scheduled lessons.

Days/times of lessons at Waltons New School of Music are subject to teacher and timetable availability. Winners will be asked to fill out an enrolment form with their day/time preferences, which we will do our best to suit.

Make-up lessons will not be given in the case of student absence. If the teacher is unable to give a lesson, the student may be given the option of taking a make-up lesson with the student’s own teacher or taking the lesson with a substitute teacher.

Waltons New School of Music reserves the right to dismiss any student for frequent absences, disciplinary reasons and/or non-compliance with New School regulations.

Prize-winners may be asked – but are not required – to participate in promotional activities surrounding the competition and in promotion of future competitions.
