Participation in an Instrumental Music program may assist in the development of social skills, co-operation, teamwork, concentration, memory, leadership skills, time management and persistence. These important characteristic uniquely contribute to other areas of education and student life. 

Lessons are given once a week during the school term and lessons are built into the specialist timetable so students will not miss any specialist lessons and teachers can accomadate best to the academic timetable. 

Small groups of students come out of class, for fifty-minute lessons. Individual lesson times are offered where possible for advanced students.

Once the program is full, new students will be put on a waiting list and processed according to availability, group allocation and date the enrolment form is received.

Missed Lessons 

Non-attendance at lessons does not qualify a family for a refund or credit against fees paid. Your tuition pays for your place in the class for the term, regardless of attendace. Our costs don't change if you miss a class and we are therefore not able to offer a reduction in tuition for missed classes.
