Tuition Info
- Lesson costs per term for: small group (max 4 students) $135 + GST, duo $185 + GST & private $255 + GST
- A discount is offered for siblings, early payments and choosing direct debit as a payment option
- In group & duo lessons we try to put kids learning the same instrument together but this is not always possible as it depends on numbers
- Lessons are all 30 mins and are scheduled at various times through the school day. We aim to work out a lesson time that is least disruptive to the class timetable.
- Students have the opportunity to enter the Kids on Key annual Talent Quest
- After school timeslots might be available but this varies from year to year
- Students are required to have their own instrument and bring to school for their weekly lesson. (The only exception to this is drums as we provide a kit for use at school but students still need their own set for home practice)
- If you need help with purchasing or hiring an instrument please contact us.
- We always have a major end of year concert for families and other performing opportunities are encouraged where possible
Beginner ABC Music Program
- This program enables students to try a variety of instruments over the course of 2 terms (see below)
- We supply the instruments and you only pay for the lessons
- At the end of the program a report is given to you to let you know which instrument is suited to the skills and interests of your child
- This is a golden opportunity for your child to experience music and have a ton of fun in the process
- Tuition fees are $270 + GST (Please note that this fee covers 2 terms of tuition)
- Students learn in small groups of 4-6 students for 30 min weekly lessons
