Important notice: instrument maintenance check and stocktake

All students who currently borrow a school instrument must bring it to the Music Department on Tuesday 28 November for an instrument maintenance check. Instruments should be clean and have a student name-tag attached, with the instrument barcode on the reverse. If this name-tag is missing, please ask Mrs De Araujo in the music staffroom to label it for you. Full details of the instrument drop-off and collection procedure have been emailed.    

Private Music tuition and Infant Strings Program

Please note that from 2018, the cost of individual private music lessons will be charged at a rate of $42 per half-hour lesson (plus GST, if the tutor is registered to pay GST). Lessons shared in pairs will cost $22 per student per half-hour lesson (plus GST where applicable). The Infant Strings Program (ISP) for students in Years K-2 will continue to be charged at $250 per term on school fees, which includes the loan of an instrument.

Thank you to those who have already advised us of changes to private tuition and Infant Strings Program enrolments for next year.  The due date for notification of changes or intention to enrol or discontinue for Term 1, 2018 is today.   

Please notify David Gwilliam, Head of Music, by email to music@emanuelschool.nsw.edu.au of any changes to lessons or if your child intends to discontinue.

The schedules for Term 1, 2018 will be created before the end of this term. If written notification regarding discontinuation is not received by the end of term, parents will be liable for fees for next term and all students will be automatically re-enrolled into tutor schedules for 2018 along with students commencing lessons for the first time.
