1. Piano Studio Policies
Attend, Pay, Practice
Lessons are held weekly throughout the Victorian School Terms.
There are no lessons during School Holidays and Public Holidays (because breaks are important too!)
New students can decide after the ‘first lesson’ whether or not to continue with weekly lessons. There’s no obligation to continue.
Lesson fees are paid per lesson, and payment is due on the day of the lesson.
New students can pay by bank transfer (Pay-ID 0422 817 623), or cash at the first lesson.
For ongoing enrolled students, a weekly invoice will be emailed to you the morning of each lesson.
2026 piano lesson fees are:
30-mins ($49)
45-mins ($73.50)
60-mins ($98)
Piano lessons work best when students attend weekly AND practice at home between lessons.
For beginners, effective practice just takes 5-10 minutes, 4 days a week (yes, that’s really it!)
Change or Cancel Lessons
If you need to stay home, you can attend your regular piano lesson online!
Simply TEXT me before your usual lesson time. Setup a laptop next to your piano and join this Zoom room: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/248341865
Passcode: rf0FJ2
I understand things can pop up unexpectedly! I ask for at least 4-hours notice to change or cancel a lesson.
Please be aware that weekly lesson spots are limited, and notice gives other students a chance to have that time. Notifying me of absences in advance is most appreciated.
Late Cancellations with less than 4-hours notice will be charged $25.
Weekly lessons are ongoing, so students can start and stop lessons any week.
Students can pause lessons but be aware that spots cannot be held.
To discontinue lessons, simply notify me by email or text as soon as you can.
Respect & Care
Please be mindful of noise and respect neighbours when entering/exiting the building.
In lessons, students should not play the piano with excessive force or unreasonable levels of noise.
Parent supervision is needed for children 6-years and under.
Parents are encouraged to sit in on lessons where possible, to aid with practice and progress at home.
All piano lessons (onsite and online) involve digital communications, like recording performance videos and audio, playing along to YouTube or Spotify, emailing sheet music, composing on Musescore etc.
Please notify me if yourself or your child would prefer to opt out.
