Lessons "by the term" are a block of (usually) 8 lessons held during the NSW Public School terms (generally running in school weeks 2-9).Â
Booking lessons "by the term" holds a particular weekly time-slot for you. ​
Lessons can be 30, 45 or 60 minutes in duration, depending on availability and your budget.
NB: 45 or 60-minute lessons are strongly recommended for students preparing for HSC Music or higher level external examinations (eg AMEB exams).
Additional lessons can be scheduled if desired - both during the school term and in school holidays, depending on availability.
Bookings for private lessons by the TERM are currently available between 3:30pm - 7pm on:
MONDAYS
THURSDAYS
FRIDAYS
TUESDAYS & WEDNESDAYS are not currently available for regular lesson bookings, but may be used for rescheduled lessons.
Limited availability for lessons for adults during the day on weekdays, depending on Sarah's in-school commitments. Please get in touch for more details.
Term lesson bookings are paid in full BEFORE the start of each new term.
This secures your time slot for that term.
