2025 Band Fees

The fee for band tuition is $600 per year. This can be paid in a lump sum or split over 4 equal term payments of $150 per term. Although payments can be made by term, the financial commitment is annual. If your child discontinues band midway through the year, the full year’s fee is still payable.

Junior Band$600
Intermediate Band$600
Wind Ensemble$600
Jazz Ensemble$400
Big Band$400

This money is used for many band expenses, including:

  • Conductors' fees
  • Sheet music
  • Accessories and musical equipment
  • Tutors' fees for workshop days and recruitment days
  • Performance fees for festivals

Please note that Band Camps and Workshops incur an additional fee.
A further fee of $65 per term is charged if you hire one of the band program’s instruments.
Private tuition is a cost that is paid directly to your child's instrumental tutor. Standard tutor rates can be anywhere from $35 to $60 for a 30min lesson.
