The fee for 2026 is $30 and must be paid prior to commencing lessons.
Lessons do not take place on public holidays. If your regular weekly lesson falls on a public holiday during the term, you will not be billed for this class.
In our mission to make music accessible for all, we have a sliding pricing scale that is available to students who may struggle to access lessons due to financial constraints. These fees are a case-by-case assessment, and if you are requiring support for lessons, please let us know when you enquire about lessons to ensure you receive adequate support.
We also offer numerous music and drama scholarships to ensure that students can access lessons.

Payment:
There are two methods of payment for lessons:
By the term – an upfront payment option for music lessons, which offers a discount on lesson fees. By the term payments are mandatory for vocal groups and for drama classes. These invoices are due two weeks before the commencement of the term date (regardless of start date of lessons due to holidays or other absences), and must be paid in full before lessons take place.
Weekly – the weekly payment method offers an opportunity for families to pay for lessons as they go. These are invoiced on Monday mornings, a week in advance (i.e Week two invoices are sent out in week one) to ensure that lessons are paid for prior to being taught.
Invoices are required to be paid within seven days.
Unpaid Invoices:
If a student has not paid their invoice, the balance will be forwarded to the next invoice with no late fee.
​
If an invoice reaches a third lapsed week, late payment fee of 20% will be added to the invoice. This is non-negotiable and is applied automatically by our software.
​
If an invoice reaches 21 days unpaid, a lessons and classes enrolment will be ceased effective immediately. Students may re-enrol in their spot after this, however it will be at the discretion of staff and admin team at Kirby Campbell Music Tuition and on a case-by-case basis.
