Frequently Asked Questions
Shown below are the most frequently asked questions by students and parents.
How can I sign my child up for instrumental/LAMDA lessons?
If you wish for your child to take instrumental lessons or LAMDA lessons in College, please email instrumentalteam@emmanuelctc.org.uk or LAMDAteam@emmanuelctc.org.uk and a member of the team will respond within 5 working days with further information regarding lessons.
What happens if instrumental/ LAMDA lessons are cancelled, or my child misses a lesson?
If an instrumental or LAMDA teacher misses a lesson, it will of course be re-arranged.
If a student needs to re-arrange a lesson because of an exam, a school trip, or any other reason, they must let their teacher know the week before and the lesson will be re-arranged.
If a student misses a lesson without notice, this lesson will not be arranged.
