New students are encouraged to contact Troy before their first session to discuss goals, scheduling, and any specific requirements.

• Enrolment is open to all ages.
• Troy reserves the right to decline enrolment at his discretion.
• Students may be asked to provide basic information (name, age, experience level) to help tailor lessons from the outset.

Weekly lessons operate in line with the NSW Public School Term Calendar. As term dates may differ between public and private schools, all lesson scheduling and billing is based on NSW public school terms.

• Weekly lessons follow the NSW Public School Term Calendar.
• Students are billed per term in accordance with these dates.
• Holiday lessons may be available upon request and are subject to availability.

Current lesson rates will be communicated directly by Troy at the time of enquiry. Fees are subject to change, and any changes will be communicated with reasonable notice.

• Payment is due prior to or on the day of each lesson unless a term-based payment arrangement has been agreed upon.
• Accepted payment methods will be confirmed by Troy at enrolment.
• Fees are per lesson and are non-transferable to another student.
• Outstanding fees may result in lessons being suspended until the account is brought up to date.

We understand that life happens. BPM Drum Academy aims to be as flexible as possible, and Troy is committed to working with students to find solutions when scheduling conflicts arise.

• 24-hour notice required — please notify Troy at least 24 hours in advance if you need to cancel or reschedule a lesson.
• Cancellations with less than 24 hours' notice may be charged at the full lesson rate.
• Make-up lessons are offered at Troy's discretion and subject to availability — they are not automatically guaranteed.

BPM Drum Academy is a respectful, professional learning environment. All students and their accompanying parents or guardians are expected to conduct themselves appropriately at all times.

• Students should arrive on time and ready to learn.
• Respectful behaviour toward Troy, the studio, and any equipment is expected at all times.

• Parents or guardians of minor students are welcome to wait in the designated waiting area during lessons.

The BPM Drum Academy studio is a fully equipped, air-conditioned teaching space with two acoustic drum kits and a ventilated recording area. All equipment necessary for lessons is provided.

• Students are welcome to bring their own sticks; Troy can advise on suitable options.

• Students should not adjust, modify, or tamper with studio equipment without permission.
• The studio has security cameras in operation for the safety of all parties.

The wellbeing of students, parents, and Troy is a priority. We ask that all attendees respect basic health and safety practices when visiting the studio.

• Students or parents should inform Troy of any relevant medical conditions, physical limitations, or hearing concerns that may affect lessons.
• Hearing protection by way of isolation headphones is provided and mandatory for all lessons.

• Any use of a student's image for promotional purposes will only occur with prior written consent from the student (or parent/guardian for minors).
• Students or guardians may withdraw consent at any time by contacting Troy directly.
• No photography, video recording, or audio recording is permitted by students, parents, or visitors without Troy's prior approval.

BPM Drum Academy takes reasonable care to provide a safe and well-maintained studio environment. However, participation in drumming lessons involves some physical activity, and students attend at their own risk.

• BPM Drum Academy is not responsible for the loss, theft, or damage of personal belongings brought to the studio.
• Parents or guardians are responsible for the safety and supervision of children in the waiting area.

BPM Drum Academy reserves the right to update or amend these Terms and Conditions at any time. Changes will be communicated to enrolled students with reasonable notice and will be reflected on this page with an updated date.

Continued enrolment following notification of changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. If you have concerns about any changes, please contact Troy directly to discuss.
