Term Fees

Private singing lessons are $45 per 30-minute lesson, payable by term prior to commencement.

Fees are processed via your iClassPro Customer Portal. Please ensure payments are finalised before lessons begin.

Lesson Arrival and Absences

Please arrive 5 minutes before your scheduled lesson and wait in the upstairs hallway seating area. Your teacher will invite the student in when it is time to begin.

As per the policies outlined in our information booklet parents must give 24 hour notice of an absence for singing lessons to be eligible for a make up lesson.  Please ensure you log the absent via your iclass customer portal and a make up token will be applied by our staff.   Absence must be logged in the portal and not via verbal or email.    Failure to provide notice results in a forfeit of the class.

​

Parent Guidelines

• Parents are welcome to observe trial lessons.

• For ongoing lessons, we ask parents to wait outside the singing room.

• If you need to speak with the teacher, please do so within the first 5 minutes of your child’s lesson, as teachers move immediately to the next student.

​

What to Bring

Students should bring a notebook to every lesson to record feedback and home practice goals.

 

Home Practice

Consistent practice is essential for vocal development.  Students should practise 2–3 times per week, depending on age. Each singer receives access to a personalised Google folder containing vocal tracks, backing tracks and teacher notes.

Access your child’s singing resources here: HOME PRACTISE INFORMATION

 

AMEB Voice Exams

Students interested in undertaking AMEB Voice Exams are encouraged to speak with their teacher regarding readiness and preparation.
