Whether you’re enrolling your child for the first time or returning for another term, we know there’s a lot to consider. Below are answers to some of the most common questions parents ask us. 

Our Emerging Talent Scholarship is a full-coverage award for promising young musicians. To be eligible, you must be nominated by a teacher. If selected, you’ll receive 100% subsidised weekly lessons for your chosen instrument. Only three scholarships are awarded each year. Shortlisted students will be invited for an in-person conversation about their musical goals. Please get in touch to find out submission dates.
To apply, reach out to us directly and request the subsidy application form. The process is simple, and all information is kept confidential. Once submitted, we’ll assess your application and let you know if funding is available.
Group classes are around $100 per term. One-on-one lessons range from $40 to $60 per 30-minute session, set by each teacher.
If your family is facing financial hardship, we offer a $200 subsidy per term for one-on-one lessons. Just get in touch with us confidentially to request the application form. (Please note: group classes aren’t subsidised.)
Once you send us a lesson request, we’ll reach out to the teacher and come back to you within a few days with available time slots. Each teacher sets their own schedule.
