Student Code of Conduct

MUSIC TCHR expects students to follow this Code of Practice in order to ensure that: they benefit from their learning experiences; they are mindful of the need for safeguarding procedures, and; that their behaviour is responsible and respectful at all times.

Be your best self

• Students will act in a sensitive, considerate and responsible manner at all times. This includes both individual and group lessons.
• Any verbal or physical conduct that demeans others, in particular relating to ethnicity, gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, disability, age or political beliefs will not be tolerated.
• Rules and Regulations

Get the most from your lessons

• Give yourself time to log into your lesson.
• You must use your MusicTCHR account for all course and lesson-related communications and access.
• The use of personal email accounts is not permitted.
• Do engage seriously with your learning – including doing any practice or assignments set by your teacher.
• Have the right resources to hand, including any sheet music, instruments and accessories.

Be safe and responsible

• Disruptive behaviour will not be tolerated.
• You should be dressed appropriately for the lesson
• Be in an environment that is quiet, safe and free from distractions.
• Where possible, students should not join virtual sessions from their bedroom.
• Mute microphones where appropriate, i.e. in a group lesson while the teacher is presenting to everyone.
• Students are strongly encouraged to have their camera turned on for the duration of a lesson.

A few do’s and don’ts

• Mobile phones should not be used during a lesson.
• Students must not create, download, store or transmit unlawful material, or material that is indecent, offensive, defamatory, threatening, discriminatory or extremist.
