Tutors

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.
