2026 Pricing
At Sydney Music Tuition we have a variety of options to suit your schedule and billing preferences.
NOTE: You can begin lessons anytime throughout the year
Term Billing
For those who like to have a regular weekly routine for lessons. The schedule follows 2 Term periods: Term 1 (January 12th – July 5th) and Term 2 (July 20th – December 20th). If you miss a scheduled lesson, your teacher will record and send a personalized video lesson covering the material for that week so you can watch and practice in your own time.
Billing can be paid either in full (for the Term) or monthly.
Casual Billing
For those that may have varying availability, this option provides more flexibility. With this option there are no make-up credits given for a cancelled lesson (Apart from holidays).
Casual billing is paid monthly in advance.
Single Lesson Option
For one-off bookings, audition prep, or occasional check-ins without ongoing commitments.

Our Policies
When you sign up for guitar or piano lessons with us and become a member of Sydney Music Tuition, your agreed lesson day and time is reserved and guaranteed for you, every week.
Payments
The Term Period monthly rate is due at the end of each 4-week lesson block.
When enrolling mid-term, the monthly lesson fee is charged from lesson 1 in advance.
Casual lessons are booked and paid on a monthly basis in advance.
Single 1-off lessons are paid in advance upon booking.
Student Absence &Cancellations
We do not offer in-person make-up lessons or credits for missed classes.
If you are absent or cannot attend your scheduled time, your teacher will use your reserved slot to create and send a custom video lesson detailing the concepts, exercises, and repertoire you would have covered. This allows you to stay on track and practice in your own time.
If you plan on missing lessons for family holidays or school events, you must continue your regular payments to reserve your weekly studio time slot.
For extended absences of 5 weeks or more, you may suspend your enrolment at the end of the current billing cycle and re-enrol upon your return (subject to teacher and time slot availability).
Public Holidays
If your lesson occurs on a public holiday and you and your teacher do not wish to have a lesson, the lesson will not be counted.
Teacher Absence
If your teacher is sick or has a conflict with a scheduled lesson, you will be offered appropriate options to make up for the missed lesson.
Our teachers may occasionally take time off for professional development opportunities interstate or overseas. Under these circumstances, we may be able to arrange for a substitute teacher to cover your regular teacher during their absence. While it would be our recommendation to always maintain continuity of lessons, if preferred you can suspend lessons until your teacher returns and a full refund will be given for that period.
