Sometimes students wish to join the program when they are in a higher year level. If such a student has prior experience on their instrument from a private teacher or a previous school, the relevant instrumental teacher will invite them to come in for a chat and a brief demonstration, bringing their instrument and some of the music recently studied. From this they will be able to work out an appropriate level of lesson group and ensemble for the student to join. Apply by emailing the IMT managers at the email address below.
This is also possible. These students start lessons with a beginner group and are encouraged to work on progressing as quickly as possible, so they can participate in an appropriate ensemble. Many students who start learning when they are a little older improve more quickly than younger students - provided they practise regularly.
