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.
