Is financial assistance available?

Our belief is simple: music should be accessible to all. That’s why we offer financial assistance to help you learn and grow. Financial assistance is available for lessons, Music Centre membership, instrument hire, and more. Find out more, including eligibility criteria and how to apply, on the Financial Assistance page.

What if I don’t have my own instrument?

We offer an instrument hire service at affordable rates. You’ll get a discount on your instrument hire if you have lessons with us! This allows students to access high-quality instruments without the need for a significant upfront investment. More information on instrument hire can be found on the Instrument Hire page.

I want to have lessons for an instrument you don’t teach here!
