Hire or Purchase an Instrument?

For beginners, we strongly recommend renting an instrument to start with. As students build their skills and progress through the senior primary years, parents and caregivers may wish to invest in a high-quality student model from a trusted brand such as Yamaha or Jupiter.

​

We strongly discourage purchasing cheap imported instruments from supermarkets or online marketplaces. These are often poorly made — frequently out of tune, difficult to play, and rarely last more than six months before developing faults. Most music stores also decline to repair them. More importantly, the frustration caused by these instruments can discourage students and hinder their progress ultimately leading to dissatisfaction and eventually withdrawal from the program.

​​

If you’re considering buying an instrument, please speak with your tutor or contact us first. We’re happy to provide free, honest advice to help your child get the best possible start on their musical journey. We also have a number of ex-rental instruments available for purchase. Please get in contact for more information.

Program Costs and More Infomation

  • The cost of tuition and band fees is $200 including GST payable on receipt of an invoice at the start of each term. This fee covers all tuition, rehearsals and performances.

  • Instrument hire incurs an additional charge and varies from instrument to instrument.

  • Students are expected to take care of their rental instrument including keeping it in a clean and tidy state.

  • Some instruments have consumables such as reeds and valve grease. These will be supplied with the initial rental but resupply is the responsibility of the student. Consumables can be purchased for a reasonable price via Little Muzos. 

  • It is important to note; Unpaid fees indicate the parent or care-giver no longer wishes their child to remain in the program, due to child safety requirements your child will be returned to class and unable to participate in the program.
