Discontinuing music lessons Access the Guildford Grammar School Portal, and click onto the School of Music page. Click the Forms button and you will see the ‘Discontinue Music Lessons’ form. Once the form has been filled in and sent, a cancellation of five weeks’ notice period is in place [not including holiday periods]. This means the student has five more lessons available before the lessons cease. Hired instruments are to be handed in at the last lesson to avoid further hiring costs.
