2023 Rates & Policies

Please read the following carefully and contact us if you have any questions.

Tuition fees
​​

Each year is divided into four equal terms. The term rates for 2023 are as follows:

1 hour lessons: $840
45 minute lessons: $630
30 minute lessons: $420

Lessons occur on weekdays only, and terms follow the Victorian School Calendar. No lessons on School Holidays or Public Holidays. Some terms may have more lessons than others - however the tuition fee remains the same.

You must commit to a term in advance, and fees are due in full prior to the commencement of each term. Please contact us if you require an alternative payment plan. Each term's fees are non-refundable (exceptional circumstances may apply). Students attend one trial lesson before committing to the full term (a pro rata term fee may apply).

Payment of the term fees guarantees your place at Beechworth Music Tuition, and your time slot. A commitment takes place between teacher and student. Every effort will be made on the teacher's behalf to attend each scheduled lesson during the term. Occasionally, either teacher or student may not be able to attend the lesson due to sickness or absence of another kind. Due to a very tight and restricted teaching schedule, no makeups can be offered for absence of any kind. If a lesson is cancelled by us more than 2 times in a term, credits will be applied to the following term. Alternative arrangements may be considered for prolonged student absence. 

What your term fee covers

Your term fee covers more than the actual time spent with the student. It also covers time spent preparing for an individual student, editing recordings and creating content to be shared on appropriate platforms; any concerts run during the year including the equipment required; printing, photocopying and use of our resources; plus the years of training and experience we offer.

​Your scheduled lesson time
​

Lessons are run back-to-back and every effort is made to ensure lessons run on time. Please arrive a couple of minutes before the start of your lesson time, to ensure we maximise the full time allocated, and be prompt with pickups.​ Students and parents are welcome to use the foyer or outside deck as a waiting area. Occasionally, we may be running a couple of minutes late as the lessons progress through the teaching session - if this occurs, students that follow (if they arrive on time) will still receive their full allocated time.

Social media/website Permission

Occasionally, photos and short videos of students are posted on the Beechworth Music Tuition website, Resource Site and Facebook Page.  If you do not want your child's image(s) to be used, please let me know by email. In general, students find it motivating and exciting to share what they have learned with their community. Students are identified only by first name. The commencement of lessons is deemed acceptance of these terms.
