Musical Specialties include:
Piano, Guitar, Ukulele, Vocal, Drums, Percussion, Composition, Musical Theatre, Early Years Music Experience
Scheduling
Private Music Lessons are booked in 30-min sessions, at a mutually convenient time that recurs on a weekly basis at the same day/time each week. A small buffer of time is set aside at the start and end of each session so that parents can check in and check out with the tutor. If you ever feel that you need or want more time to review your child’s progress with the tutor, please feel welcome to schedule this through our office so we can build it into the timetable.
Consistency is important! As educators and parents, we know that children do best with predictable timetables and positive relationships with their teachers. Therefore, committing to a full term, or a full school year of tutoring allows more time to strengthen the student-teacher relationship and to build on the progress of each term. A longer commitment also helps with teacher-retention rates and this means that we can also commit to maintaining your child’s regular session timing each week.
Fees
- 12 Lessons – $432
- 24 Lessons – $792

Sessions are purchased in bulk and pricing is based on the average session being 30 minutes. Session credits will be added to a student’s account and deducted after each lesson. Bulk pricing provides savings on lessons and ensures that you can keep your chosen date and time slot for as long as your lessons continue.
