Tuition takes place individually and lessons are charged at three 11 week terms per academic year, and you can request either 15, 20, or 30 minute lessons as outlined below:

Places are allocated on a 'first come first served' basis once completed applications are received. Most of our instrumental teachers are co-ordinated by NMPAT.  All lessons are one-to-one and take place during the school academic day. We do not recommend that students take lessons in more than two instruments. Tuition is usually arranged on a rota basis. Timetables and instructions to students are regularly placed on the Practice room noticeboard and on Firefly to access at home. 

By completing and submitting an online application form you are accepting financial responsibility for a full year's tuition. If a student wishes to discontinue lessons, it may be possible to transfer your costs by offering your place to a student on a waiting list. However charges will still apply for the full academic year if a replacement student is not available.
