Fees

Fees are tied to the stage of musical knowledge your child has reached in their particular instrument. Stages are a system unique to Gallery to assess the achievement of students against general musical knowledge and their specific instrument knowledge.

In general, the higher the stage, the smaller the class, and therefore the more expensive to operate.

After you have given your enrolment form to the office we will send you an invoice which shows you the stage level your child/children will be working at in 2009.

Class Fees for 2009 will be as follows – (please note the fee shown is per year.)

Stage 0 $60.00 Students 'brand new' to an instrument
Stage 1 $80.00 This is also the fee charged for pre-instrumental classes, and all ensemble/orchestral groups such as choir/string orchestra.
Stage 2 $100.00  
Stage 3 $110.00  
Stage 4 $120.00
