Instalment Rules & Regulations

Students and parents may choose to pay an initial deposit of €100 per instrument studied in May or June, with the remaining balance paid in two instalments in August and October. Payments can be made via EFT or in cash if enrolling in two or more instrumental classes. Please note that instalment plans are not available for group classes.

It is essential that all instalment payments are completed by the designated Thursday of each month; specific due dates will be communicated in August. Failure to pay fees by the outlined deadlines, or after reminders have been issued and without a valid reason, will result in forfeiture of the student’s place without further notice.

For cash payments, please enclose the exact amount in an envelope clearly marked with the pupil's name, teacher, lesson day, and payment amount. Cash payments lacking this information will not be accepted and no change will be provided.

For EFT payments, ensure the pupil's name is included on the transaction reference. When making instalment payments, the full specified amount should be paid—neither overpayments nor underpayments can be processed as they complicate record-keeping.

All payment information and deadlines will be clearly communicated at the beginning of term to outline commitments. We recommend keeping records of all transactions; receipts will only be issued upon request and with proof of payment. For clarity and to prevent misunderstandings, parents and students are encouraged to confirm payment completion with the school office if any uncertainty arises.

Should you choose to discontinue classes at any point during the semester, including for personal reasons, the deposit and any instalments already paid are non-refundable. No refunds or deferrals can be offered or transferred to family members, as payment secures the student's place.

For all queries regarding instalment fees, please email keenanschoolofmusic@hotmail.com. Using email ensures a clear communication thread between the school and families, reducing the possibility of misunderstandings.

Consistent failure to meet payment deadlines will result in immediate suspension of all classes unless the outstanding balance is settled in full. Repeated late payments will also result in the loss of eligibility for the instalment payment option.

The Keenan School of Music, Castleknock, kindly requests that all payments are made promptly. Pursuing overdue payments is both uncomfortable and discourteous, and we greatly appreciate your cooperation in meeting these obligations.
