Private Tuition – Secure your place quickly
It is imperative that students learning an instrument have a private tutor to teach the child how to play their instrument. For the convenience of parents and provide access to quality tutoring, the school supports the program by allowing tutors to utilise rooms for private tuition. It is important that parents contact the tutor directly to arrange lessons. We also recommend that for your own peace of mind that parents do their own working with children checks. Details of how to do this are on our website along with the tutor contacts - https://www.bhpsband.com/tutors
