FAQ
What age can my child start lessons?
We accept students from age 4 onward for most instruments. For very young beginners, we recommend a 30-minute lesson.
Do you offer trial lessons?
Yes. Register your interest using the form and we'll arrange a trial with a suitable teacher. Trial lessons follow the usual rate for that teacher and duration.
Are online lessons available?
Some teachers offer online or hybrid lessons. Let us know in your registration and we'll match accordingly.
What if I miss a lesson?
Notice: To keep the schedule running smoothly and respect our teachers' time, students must give the teacher at least 24 hours' notice for any lesson cancellation or rescheduling.
- Illness: Students may use up to two instances of sick leave per term where late notice is accepted without a fee. Outside this allowance, failure to provide the required notice without a valid reason forfeits the full lesson fee.
How do payments work?
Lessons are billed per term in advance. Invoices are issued at the start of each term. You can start at any time during the term, including during the holidays. Lesson fees are non-refundable. Full terms are in the registration form.
Do you teach adults?
Yes. Many of our students are adult learners, including beginners, returning musicians and those preparing for exams or auditions.
Do you prepare students for ABRSM or Trinity exams?
Many of our teachers specialise in both ABRSM and Trinity preparation. We assist with registration and provide our hall for recording exam performances.
