All Conservatorium teachers are qualified and experienced (see link Professional Staff).
Examinations are conducted annually by the Australian Music Examinations Board, with exams being held at the Conservatorium in July/August.
Individual Tuition
Lessons are available in blocks of 15, 20, 30, 45 and 60 minutes. All times are negotiable, 30 minutes per week being the most popular. (Where appropriate, shared lessons are taught.)
Where three or more students from the same family undertake individual tuition, a family discount applies.
