Lesson fees:

Emma is an industry professional, but is flexible to work with students depending on their preference to work on ballet exercises and technique, perfecting existing repertoire, developing strength and conditioning, or learning for exercise and fun.

Individual music lessons are scheduled weekly in 30-minute blocks and are rotated each week to minimise disruption to classroom programs.
Group lessons are offered but only conducted when 2-3 students are learning at the same level of competency (subject to the discretion of the tutor). Not all instruments are suited to group tuition and after a term of tuition, parents may be advised to book an individual lesson to ensure that the student is able to progress at his/her anticipated rate.
Generally, students must provide their own instruments. Please note that a limited number of trumpets, trombones, saxophones and flutes are available to hire from the School; inquiries can be made to the Extra-Curricular Coordinator.
The tutor will endeavour to supply a minimum of eight lessons per term. On occasion, lessons may need to be cancelled due to illness or other absences. Tutors will make every endeavour to reschedule missed lessons in circumstances where reasonable notice of an intended absence has been supplied directly to the tutor via phone.
Fees are to be paid in advance. Payment is to be made directly to each individual music teacher.
One term’s notice must be given to withdraw from the program. Otherwise, all lessons must be paid for, whether taken or not.
Please discuss these terms with your tutor at the commencement of the tuition agreement.
