Music tuition at merri bell music costs $460 for a ten-week term for standard 30 minute lessons. Forty-five and sixty minute lessons are also available at a pro-rata rate.
(From Term 2 this rate will be $500/term).
Tuition is charged by the school term, paid in full at the beginning of each term and is non-refundable. Each term payment is calculated according to the number of weeks in the term as per the NSW Board of Studies term dates.
Term dates for 2026 are as follows:
| Term 1 | Monday 2 February 2026 | Friday 3 April 2026 (nine weeks) |
| Term 2 | Monday 27 April 2026 | Friday 3 July 2026 (starting a week later than school) |
| Term 3 | Monday 20 July 2026 | Friday 25 September 2026 |
| Term 4 | Monday 12 October 2026 | Friday 18 December 2026 |
The studio operates as normal on public holidays.
Should you commence lessons part-way through the term, up-front payment is required for the remainder of the term.
Payment for full terms or blocks of lessons are to be made by direct deposit (details available on invoice).
Please choose a lesson time to which you are confident you can commit on a regular basis. Reserving an exclusive weekly time in my schedule is part of what your tuition covers. I cannot resell that time and therefore cannot refund, nor can I create extra teaching time. Replacement lessons for unforeseen absences will take the form of live online lessons (if student well enough), or the compiling of related theory worksheets/material. If you choose to book in something over your allocated spot – including school activities – you are choosing to forfeit that lesson.
Should I need to cancel a lesson for any reason, every effort will be made to schedule a replacement lesson at a time that best suits you, or a credit will be offered. All replacement lessons must be scheduled within two weeks of the lesson missed.
The studio shall not assume any financial responsibility for a student’s absence.
Please contact me with any queries or for further information.
