The fees for Instrumental/Singing Tuition per lesson are as follows:

NB Some schools are able to subsidise these lessons and it is recommended that you contact the school your child attends to see if this is applicable.

NEMCO provides a flexible invoicing system to the schools that take the service provided. Since each establishment has developed individual policies relating to the cost of the service NEMCO has developed two distinct systems:

• direct invoicing to schools
• direct invoicing to parents

Registration fee: £10.00 should be given to the NEMCO tutor along with your signed contract. Music lessons cannot commence until this has been done.

On receipt of your registration fee and contract you will be sent an invoice. This will offer you the opportunity of paying monthly by standing order or termly by cheque/postal order.

Monthly payment by standing order: If you wish to pay by standing order, complete and sign the mandate on the bottom of the invoice and return to NEMCO within 14 days from date of invoice. Failure to do so will result in a postponement of lessons. NEMCO will then send the completed mandate to your bank and payment for lessons will be debited from your account monthly.

Termly payment by Bank payment/cheque/postal order: If you opt to pay termly, please send a cheque /postal orders for the amount requested, made payable to NEMCO Ltd. Do not send cash. Details for bank payments are shown on your invoice. Please note our payment terms are 14 days from the invoice date. Failure to make payment within this timescale will result in a postponement of lessons.

Cancellation of lessons: Lessons can only be stopped at half term or term end. Notice to cancel lessons must be given a full half term in advance of either half term or the term end. Notice must be given by letter or email to the NEMCO office AND to the instrumental teacher. Instrument Loan/Maintenance fees are non refundable.

NEMCO endeavours to supply instruments to schools for pupil use. Where this is not possible please contact NEMCO for further information regarding rental and purchase schemes.

Should an instrument be supplied by NEMCO a small fee of £7.10 per term for string instruments or £11.10 per term for wind instruments is levied to cover the cost of maintenance and repair. If your child is using a NEMCO instrument the fee of £7.10 or £11.10 per term will be automatically generated and shown on your invoice.

Please inform NEMCO immediately should your child stop using a NEMCO instrument, so that:

• the fee is not generated on future invoices;
• a refund can be made if you pay by standing order.
