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, Vocals (both Classical and Contemporary) and Song Writing who can take students through exams or simply provide the necessary skills to enjoy playing. The program enables students to utilize 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 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 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.
