11. Is there any difference between your classes and other online classes for music ?
Yes, in most of the online classes, they provide stuff based on their curriculam, but do not follow up the student's progress. But we follow up the progress of each student in every class, and teach customised lessons according to the student's calibre and practice.
12. Do you send lessons in advance ?
No, we do not send lessons in advance. During the class, we will check whether the student has practiced the previous lesson well, do necessary corrections, and then only send the next lesson. The reason is, out of curiosity students jump to the new lesson and practice it wrongly, without practising the last lesson properly.

Yes, we give a total concession of 10% on the actual fees payable.
14. About delayed fees payments ?
Students should remit fees before the first class of every cycle. Under extra ordinary circumstances, if there is any problem in remitting fees on time, students can give prior information and continue the classes without break. But this can be allowed for one class only, and only for a maximum of 2 occasions in a year.
