frequently asked questions
please read our policies
q : do you offer trial lessons? could i book one single lesson?
how could i reserve my place at spiral school of music ?
a : we do not offer lessons free of charge! if you are not sure whether musical education is something you can commit to and/or would like to receive the professional assessment of one of our specialist teachers, you are welcome to book one single lesson. single lessons without a signed contract are charged as pay as you go/prepaid lessons (see flexibel einzelstunde ohne vertrag). no enrolment required.
the nature and purpose of the initial lesson : the initial lesson serves as a session, providing the prospective student with the opportunity to inform the teacher of their personal readiness/willingness to engage in music tuition, current level, wishes, needs and goals regarding their chosen course of study as well as to receive the professional evaluation and guidance of a specialist teacher. prospective students are being assessed and advised on the best course of further action. during the initial lesson beginner students are being led into the first steps and continuing/transfer students are being asked to demonstrate their skills and given guidance for further development. at the same time the initial lesson allows the student to receive a first impression of the course of study they have chosen as well as of the teacher's applied methods of instruction.
should you wish us to schedule an initial lesson for you/your child, please fill out and send us this questionnaire. we will contact you as soon as we have reviewed it and, after receiving the full corresponding lesson fee, you will be offered an appointment with one of our teachers depending on the information you have provided in the form
and the teacher's availability.
please note that lessons can only be scheduled after received confirmation of full fee payment. to make payment simply transfer your fee to the bank account provided on our fees page or contact us to make an appointment should you wish to pay cash instead.
after the initial lesson has taken place, we will inform you within a few days whether or not you/your child would be offered a place at our school. in the case that you/your child are/is accepted, you will be provided with all necessary information in order to enrol.
upon enrolment : we offer a trial period of one month during which either side could request to terminate the contract with a two weeks' notice. the trial period of one month begins with the initial lesson.
q : what types of contracts / plans do you offer?
a : yearly contract : enrolment is possible at any point throughout the academic year. the contact renews automatically after one year following enrolment date. the yearly fee is divided in 12 equal monthly instalments and can be paid at once, half-yearly or monthly. this contract reserves the student a permanent place and time slot in the school. tuition does not take place on bank and during school holidays. the contract can be terminated within the first month of enrolment with a two weeks' notice and on 28.02 or 31.08 with a one month's notice.
pay as you go (with contract) : enrolment is possible at any point throughout the academic year. the student can book as many lessons per calendar month as desired however it is required to book a minimum of two lessons per calendar month in order to keep their place in the school. the fee is prepaid and due on the first of each calendar month for the month ahead. the contract can be terminated at the end of each calendar month with a one month's notice.
pay as you go (no contract) : enrolment is possible at any point throughout the academic year. there is no required number of lessons to be booked. the student can book as many lessons as desired and they would be scheduled on variable days and times that are mutually convenient (note : weekends possible only at teacher's studio as well as when homeschooling).

q : where do the courses take place?
a : at spiral school of music's studio on käthe-niederkirchner-str. 19, 10407 berlin mainly. as we trust environment plays an important role in the music tuition process, we endeavour to provide the most relaxed and convenient for both sides (student - teacher) location where the lessons take place. in some cases this could be our teachers' comfortable studios or the students' own ones.
on home tuition : for the convenience of our customers, we provide a homeschooling service where we send a teacher to the student's desired location for the lessons to take place. this kind of service would require the student/parent/guardian to reimburse the teacher for their travel expenses. for more information please refer to our homeschool fees.
