2022 Private Music Tuition
At Clayfield College, we have an array of specialist Music Tutors who visit the school to offer expert tuition to our students. In 2022, we are offering private specialist tuition for the following instrument groups:
Piano (from grade 2)
Strings (from grade 3)
Band (from grade 5)
Vocal (from grade 6)
Any student wishing to apply for Private Music Tuition in 2022 can submit the following online Application form, to be completed by a Parent or Caregiver. Tuition fees, terms, and conditions are communicated in the form.
As students are automatically re-enrolled each year, any student wishing to discontinue lessons must notify the Director of Co-Curricular Music (kgordon@clayfield.qld.edu.au) via email before Friday 26 November. This is to ensure that our specialist tutors are given advanced notification of student numbers to enable accurate planning of teaching hours and days. Any cancellations received in the New Year will incur a two-week cancellation fee.
