Frequently Asked Questions
We know you have some questions, and we’d love to answer them for you. So if we haven’t covered them here, please get in contact!
Yes! We regularly prepare and successfully submit students for AMEB examinations through multiple syllabi.
When you enrol you’re charged upfront for the first three lessons (at the rate above), to give you a chance to make sure happy and keen to continue, before we invoice you for the remainder of the term and on a term to term basis thereafter. This gives you a chance to try it out (without a big investment!) and locks away the time for you.
We can make payment arrangements for families to break up the payments into a few manageable lumps.
Absolutely! As long as at least 24 hours notice is given of an absence then we would be delighted to organise up to two make up lessons for you per term. Of course, if there is an emergency situation we would love to chat to you about how we can support you.
Yes! We have almost as many adults at BMS as we do kids and we love teaching all ages.
Yes! Emphatically yes! Everyone can learn, it just comes down to practice and muscle development. Like nearly all life endeavours, commitment is everything and it will make all the difference to your success.
While we do offer group lessons for some instruments unfortunately we can’t for the piano. As there’s only one piano in the room sharing it just wouldn’t work out… and we always consider whether something would be good value for money for you!
Great question! Piano lessons can start from age four. We offer 15 minute lessons at ages four and five, with 30 minute lessons commencing from age six.
