SHARING THE JOY OF MUSIC

ABOUT US

For more than 25 years, the staff at Notes Music School have been developing skilled musicians across every genre of music. We have students of every age and ability who choose us because they recognise the value of passion, knowledge and years of experience in the industry that we share with them.

At Notes, we recognise that every student is different. Our highly skilled teachers collectively have significant expertise across the genres of classical, jazz, contemporary, country, musical theatre and more. We are interested to hear about what your goals are with your music, and to help you reach them!

A maximum of two make-up lessons can be owed to a student at any time.
If students’ accounts fall behind by three weeks, lessons will be suspended unless payment plan has been arranged with reception.

EXAMS

As students reach certain standards, they may wish to go through the exam system in order to gain qualifications useful for school and university entry. Our students have achieved consistently excellent results through both A.M.E.B. and A.N.Z.C.A.

We also have a number of V.C.E., V.E.T. and university music students who come to us for assistance in preparing for their theory and performance exams.

TUITION

New students may wish to undertake a single trial lesson, paying for that lesson alone, before commencing their enrolment. Enrolment is a commitment the student makes on a term-by-term basis.

Invoices for each month of lessons are automatically sent out by email at least three weeks in advance and are due to be paid on the 1st of each month. Students are only billed for the lessons that are to take place in that month. Lessons stop over school holidays and public holidays and students are not charged for these.

Other payment arrangements may be available on request. Contact reception to discuss.

Payments made beyond one week late will incur a 1.5% late fee.

Payment may be made via direct deposit, cheque, cash, EFTPOS or PayPal.

Payment cannot be refunded once a student has commenced their enrolment.

EQUIPMENT HIRE

If you would like to commence lessons in a particular instrument, but are unsure about whether you're ready to make the commitment to spend hundreds or perhaps thousands of dollars on buying the instrument just yet, we may be able to help! We have a limited amount of instruments available for hire by the week.

Contact our reception to see what we currently have in stock.
