Do I need my own instrument to take lessons?
You will need access to an instrument for home practice but for lessons the studios are equipped with acoustic instruments.
Can I join a group class?
Our studios are set up for individual tuition. However we can offer lessons in pairs for guitar and piano.
I am a beginner – how long will it take me to learn the basics?
The timeline for progress can vary according to many factors, such as practice time and prior learning from other musical or non-musical disciplines. Our teachers use the depth of their pedagogical experience to build a student’s fundamentals correctly, which will enable sustained, quicker progress over the long term.
Can I change my lesson time?
Changes to regular lesson time can be discussed between the student and teachers, subject to schedule availability.
What happens if I am unable to attend a lesson?
If you give your teacher or the MIM office notification at least 24 hours prior that you will miss a lesson we will do our best to provide a makeup lesson. Makeup lessons are subject to timetable availability and are limited to two per term.
When do I pay for my lessons?
The entire school term of lessons must be paid in full before you can begin. One-off payments are allowed for the initial trial, or pro-rata payments if you enrol after the start of term.
Can I try a lesson before committing to a full term?
Yes, you may pay a single lesson to trial the experience and teacher, before enrolling to a full term.
Can I start anytime?
Yes – if a term has begun, you will be charged pro-rata for the remaining lessons of the current term.
How many lessons must I enrol for?
We enrol on a term-by-term basis, roughly in line with the Victorian State School terms. There are four terms in a calendar year, each running between 9 to 11 weeks.
Are there lessons during school holidays?
Yes – subject to schedule availability.
