Private Instrumental Tuition 2023
Enrolment for private instrument tuition at St Andrews Christian College in 2023 is now available!
The St Andrews Instrumental Music program comprises both Instrument and Ensemble tuition and offers various performance opportunities. As there are important skills to learn & develop through both individual and group tuition, it is expected that all students receiving Instrument tuition are also involved in an Ensemble.
Our specialist Instrumental Music Tutors offer private tuition in orchestral, concert, and contemporary band instruments, as well as Voice and Music Theory lessons. Lessons are conducted on a weekly basis during school hours, and parents are billed per semester for the school year.
As many of our Instrument Tutors are at capacity for their availability, new enrolments will be considered on a ‘first come - first served’ basis, so to avoid missing out please send us your enrolment form as soon possible.
Private tuition will be offered for the following instruments in 2023:
- Bass Guitar
- Piano
- Guitar
- Voice
- Ukulele
- Double Bass
- Tuba
- Violin
- Viola
- Cello
- Trumpet
- Trombone
- Euphonium
- Flute
- Clarinet
- Saxophone
- Drums
The 2023 Instrument Tuition Enrolment form is attached below for you to download, or you can complete the Online Instrument Tuition Enrolment form (currently accessible via the Instrumental Music Homepage on the HUB).
For students that are currently learning an instrument at St Andrews, please note the following changes have been made to simplify the enrolment process for ongoing instrument tuition:
- Once a student is enrolled for Instrument Tuition at St Andrews, it will be considered that tuition is ongoing until written notice of discontinuation is received. Therefore, it will be no longer necessary for students that wish to continue lessons to re-enrol for instrument tuition each year.
- Each year when the following year’s College fees are communicated to parents in Term 4, the updated Instrument Tuition fees will also be included for students that are enrolled for lessons at that time.
- As many of our instrument tutors have a limited availability, continuing students will be secured a place, whilst new enrolments will still be welcome and considered on a ‘first come - first served’ basis.
- Students wishing to change their existing enrolment details (i.e. change instrument, or change lesson length) will need to submit a new enrolment form in Term 4 for tuition the following year.

Uniform Reminders
During Term 1&4 all students are required to wear an approved St Andrews hat whilst outside during recess and lunchtimes. It is important that all students are taking responsibility for this important uniform requirement throughout Term 4 this year. Any students who are not wearing a hat at recess or lunchtime will be redirected to undercover areas of the school yard.

Swooping Magpie
We currently have a resident magpie that, in it's effort to protect it’s young, has been swooping staff and students throughout the day. As the magpie is nesting in one of our trees at the College, it has been in recent weeks active in swooping unsuspecting staff and students. Fortunately, the magpie appears to be less active during recess and lunch breaks, however we encourage students to be aware and vigilant if walking through the school grounds outside of the key breaks. Holding hands above your head or wearing a hat does act as a deterrent to the magpie swooping.

Traffic Management - End Of Day
Thank you to our families for supporting the College by observing and adhering to the parking restrictions on Tyner Road during peak times. Traffic waiting to turn left into the College to pick up their child at the end of the day are reminded that they are to form an orderly queue on the left side of the lane. The other part of the lane must remain clear for through traffic. If you find yourself in the thoroughfare lane, please continue driving past the College and turn left onto High Street road before doing a loop around to Burwood Highway to re-join the queue. Thank you again for your support and cooperation.
