Enrolment is based on the term dates as published by the Murray Conservatorium.
In those cases, where a student is undecided/unsure about commencing study in a particular instrument, a 30 minute trial lesson which is charged at our standard rate can be arranged with an appropriate member of staff to discuss the student’s needs and aspirations.
Except when a teacher’s services are engaged on a casual basis and the casual lesson fee is paid, lessons are arranged on the basis of continuous tuition.
