如果上課遲到，是否可以要求補回遺失的時間？Can students request to make up for the lost time due to being late for class?

我們希望所有學生都能準時出席課程，以充分利用學習機會。然而，我們不會安排補回遲到的時間，因為這可能對其他學生造成不便，並且不利於課程進度的管理。因此，我們建議您在上課前預留足夠的時間，以確保您能按時出席課程。 We hope that all students can attend classes on time to fully utilize the learning opportunities. However, we do not arrange make-up time for latecomers as this may inconvenience other students and interfere with the management of the course schedule. Therefore, we recommend that you allocate enough time before class to ensure that you can attend the class on time.
個別音樂課堂是否可以請假？Can I take a leave of absence from private music lessons?

如為個別課程，您需要在課堂開始前48小時通知我們才能取消或更改預約。若在48小時內或課堂當日未能出席，不論原因是什麼，我們將無法提供補課。對於小組課程，若同學請假或缺席，我們不會為其提供額外的補課機會。因此，我們建議您盡可能安排好您的時間表，以確保您能夠充分參加所有的課程。 If you need to cancel or reschedule a booking for an individual class, you must notify us at least 48 hours before the class start time. If you are unable to attend the class within 48 hours or on the day of the class, for any reason, we will not be able to provide make-up classes. For group courses, we do not offer any additional make-up classes for students who are absent or on leave. Therefore, we recommend that you schedule your time wisely to ensure that you can fully participate in all of the scheduled classes.

當然可以。您可以在報名前向我們提出要求，安排指定或朋友介紹的老師上課。我們將盡力安排。 Of course you can. You can make a request before registering to arrange for a specific or recommended teacher to teach your class. We will do our best to accommodate your request.
在個別課程中，老師是否會每次更換？Will the teacher change for each session in individual classes?

對於個別課程，除非同學要求更換老師，否則每次必定由同一位老師授課，以確保學習進度不受影響。我們會盡力安排同一位老師來教授您的課程，並確保老師能夠提供一致的教學質素和風格。 For individual classes, the same teacher will teach each session unless a student requests a change to a different teacher. This is to ensure that the learning progress is not affected. We will do our best to arrange for the same teacher to teach your course and ensure that the teacher can provide consistent quality teaching and style.
可否試堂？ Does your centre provide trial classes?

我們非常重視學生的學習體驗，但是一個短暫的試堂並不能完全展示課程的內容和風格。每堂課的效果需要時間來累積，因此單獨的一堂課無法完全反映學生或老師的效果。此外，我們的老師時間比較緊密，我們希望他們能夠專注於教學，因此我們不提供試堂的服務。私人課程大多以四堂課繳交學費一次，我們鼓勵學生直接報名私人課程，以便更好地安排學習計劃和課程內容，並在學習過程中逐步提高。此外，我們的老師會根據學生的學習進度調整教學內容，確保學生能夠真正掌握知識和技能。這樣的學習方式不僅能夠提高學生的學習效果，也能夠讓學生更好地適應課程內容，進而更好地完成學習目標。因此，我們相信，直接報名私人課程是一個更好的選擇。 We highly value the learning experience of our students, but a brief trial class cannot fully showcase the content and style of the course. The effectiveness of each class requires time to accumulate, so a single class cannot entirely reflect the student or teacher's performance. In addition, our teachers have tight schedules, and we hope they can concentrate on teaching. Therefore, we do not offer trial classes. Private classes usually require payment for four classes. We encourage students to directly register for private classes so that they can better arrange their learning plan and course content and gradually improve during the learning process. Furthermore, our teachers will adjust the teaching content according to the student's learning progress to ensure that the student can genuinely master the knowledge and skills. This learning approach can not only improve the student's learning effectiveness but also enable them to better adapt to the course content and eventually achieve their learning goals. Therefore, we believe that directly registering for private classes is a better choice.
