Tutors List
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.
If you think your tutor is great, please get in touch to let us know so we can add them to our list!
