APPLICATION FOR GRACE ACADEMY TUITION

Our excellent instrumental tuition program offers both private and group lessons on a variety of instruments, including voice.

The Instrumental Program incorporates experienced private instructors of Strings, Brass, Woodwind, Percussion, Guitar, Piano, and Vocals (both Classical and Contemporary) who can take students through exams or simply provide the necessary skills to enjoy playing or singing.  The program enables students to utilise school hours to attend lessons, with care being taken to ensure students are not missing the same subject lessons on a weekly basis.  

Alternatively, Grace Arts Academy offers the opportunity for group instrumental lessons (e.g. a class of up to approximately 6 students in a 45-50 minute lesson).  Group lessons are available on Strings, Brass, Woodwind, Percussion, Guitar and Vocals and paired lessons on Piano.

Grace Arts Academy has a range of instruments available to loan at an upfront yearly fee of $300.00.  Loan instruments are limited and therefore subject to availability.   

Tuition Fees in 2026 are as follows:

  • Private Instrumental Music Lessons (30 minutes) - $42.50 per lesson*

  • Private Instrumental Music Lessons (45 minutes) - $63.75 per lesson*

  • Private Instrumental Music Lessons (60 minutes) - $85.00 per lesson*

  • Group Instrumental Music Lessons, excluding piano (45-50 minutes) - $28.50 per lesson

  • Paired Instrumental Music Lessons, piano only (30 minutes) - $28.50 per lesson

Tuition fees will be issued to School Fee Statements. Please refer to the statement for payment options available.

Students wishing to have lessons prior to 8:00am and after 3:05pm should complete an application for Music Studio tuition.

Private Tuition: Multi-Instrument and Sibling Discount

We are very excited to offer families and students enrolled in private tuition, the introduction of multi-instrumental and sibling discounts from 1st January 2026. Grace Arts Academy students are encouraged to study multiple instruments, including voice, to expand and diversify their musical expertise.

Multi-Instrument Discount

If you have one student who is enrolled in two or three private tuition lessons each week, discounts apply to the second and third lesson fees:

·         Standard tuition fees apply for the first (or longer length) instrument enrolment

·         Tuition fees for a second tuition enrolment will receive a 10% discount off the standard lesson fee

·         Tuition fees for a third tuition enrolment will receive a 30% discount off the standard lesson fee

·         If lessons are of the same length, discounts will be applied in the order of each enrolment’s application date.

Sibling Discount

If you have more than one student enrolled in private tuition lessons each week, discounts apply to the second and third sibling’s tuition fees:

·         Standard tuition fees apply for the first student enrolled

·         Tuition fees for a second sibling enrolment will receive a 10% discount off the standard lesson fee

·         Tuition fees for a third sibling enrolment will receive a 30% discount off the standard rate

·         Further discounts apply for families with two or three students enrolled in multiple instruments – please contact Grace Arts Academy for information specific to your family’s circumstances.

 

* Please note that discounts do not apply to students enrolled in Group lessons or Paired Piano lessons as these fees are already significantly discounted.

TUITION FEES AND LESSONS - TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Students are invoiced for 32 lessons in Term 1 with adjustments made at the end of the year as required, based on the number of lessons received or payable. Year 12 students will only be invoiced for 26 tuition lessons, in recognition of their availability for lessons during the year, with their earlier class finish in Term 4. Students commencing after the start of Term 1 will be invoiced on a pro rata basis in line with the number of expected lessons remaining for the current year.

Our policies for GROUP and PAIRED lessons:

  • For known absences, such as assessments and excursions, students should, out of courtesy, provide a minimum of 24 hours’ notice directly to their teacher or via email graceacademy@glc.qld.edu.au

  • We understand that sickness can be unpredictable. If your student is away from school (for example, due to illness), please record the absence through Parent Orbit as usual. Grace Arts Academy staff will receive this information directly and will use it to update attendance for Academy lessons and rehearsals. If a student goes home sick during the school day, this will also be recorded in the system, allowing Academy staff to be notified.

  • Other than teacher absence and whole school events, students enrolled in group or paired lessons will be invoiced for all timetabled lessons. There is no capacity to make up group instrumental lessons, which is reflected in the lower cost to families.

  • Long-term absences due to illness/injury may be negotiated with the Director of Grace Arts Academy.

  • To help keep track of attendance, notes are sent home when students are absent from a lesson without notice.

Our policies for PRIVATE lessons:

  • Students involved in private lessons are required to provide at least 24 hours notice for explained absences.  An explained absence could include sickness, excursions, and exams/assessments.

  • We understand that sickness can be unpredictable. If your student is away from school (for example, due to illness), please record the absence through Parent Orbit as usual. Grace Arts Academy staff will receive this information directly and will use it to update attendance for Academy lessons and rehearsals. If a student goes home sick during the school day, this will also be recorded in the system, allowing Academy staff to be notified, and the lesson will be considered to be explained.

  • When the correct notice is provided, students enrolled in private lessons may have up to 5 lessons rescheduled for explained, acceptable absences per year. This excludes teacher absence and whole school events – where timetabling is avoided (ie. Sports Carnivals and Assemblies).

  • Lessons with unexplained absences will be forfeited. To help keep track of attendance, notice will be sent to the account holder via email when students are absent from a lesson without the appropriate notice provided.

  • Long-term absences due to illness/injury may be negotiated with the Director of Grace Arts Academy

Discontinuing Tuition

Students intending to discontinue lessons are required to complete a Notice of Intention to Discontinue Instrumental Lessons form. Student’s advising of their intention to discontinue lessons are required to do so prior to the end of the current term in order to avoid any unnecessary additional fees in the subsequent term. Cancellation requests received after this time, will be invoiced for the full amount of the current term’s fees.
