Tutors
Tuition is a private matter between parents and tutors. You may make arrangements with one of the tutors suggested by the Band & Strings Ensemble committee or with a tutor of your choice.
All students in the band and strings programs are required to have a tutor, either private or group lessons.
What to look for?
- Ensure the tutor has a valid Working with Children Check
- Check the tutors experience and qualifications
Below is a list of tutors some of our students have used in the past. You may also want to check out the online directories below.
