Education Guidelines & Policies

1. Age Requirement

All Fine-Tooned U classes, workshops, coaching sessions, and training events are designed exclusively for individuals aged 18 and older to ensure a focused and mature learning environment.

2. Technical Requirements

Some classes, workshops, and coaching sessions use Google Classroom to share materials, assignments, and announcements.

Information and access details will be included in the specific class policies and reminder communications sent prior to your session.

FOR IN-PERSON PARTICIPANTS:

Bring a device capable of accessing Google Classroom (tablet, laptop, or smartphone).

FOR ONLINE PARTICIPANTS:

Maintain a stable internet connection.
Use a working webcam and ensure your face is clearly visible.
Provide adequate lighting.
Use an external microphone when applicable for clear audio quality.

It is the participant’s responsibility to ensure they meet all technical requirements and do not experience preventable technical difficulties. Minor troubleshooting during a course, if resolved promptly, can be accommodated. Major complications caused by failing to meet these requirements cannot be accommodated.

3. Health & Professional Courtesy

Stay home if you are not feeling well (cough, congestion, sneezing, etc.).
If you are not well or unable to attend, notify us using the chat feature on this site before your scheduled session.
Be considerate to your fellow classmates—come to class prepared, respectful, and odor free.
Avoid strong fragrances such as cologne or perfume, as some classmates may be allergic.
Students presenting strong odors or exhibiting disruptive behavior may be asked to leave and are welcome back once the issue is resolved.

4. Code of Conduct

Fine-Tooned U maintains a safe, inclusive, and professional learning environment for all programs, both online and in-studio.

All participants, including private coaching clients, are expected to:

Treat instructors, engineers, and fellow students with respect and professionalism.
Avoid any form of harassment, discrimination, or disruptive behavior.
Refrain from recording or distributing class materials, discussions, or performances without written permission.
Respect the confidentiality of other participants’ work, feedback, and any private discussions during one-on-one coaching sessions.
Use discretion when bringing audition copy or materials subject to NDAs.

Violation of the Code of Conduct may result in removal from a class or suspension from future programs without refund.

5. Recordings – For Educational Purposes Only

Personal recording of classes, workshops, or coaching sessions is not permitted unless you have received explicit permission from the instructor or coach.
