These lessons are funded based on the school roll and therefore we only have a limited number of places available. We typically have two to three times as many registrations as we have hours available.

We operate the following system of allocation.
We operate the following system of allocation.
1. Precedence is given to those students who are taking music as a curriculum subject. This is because Itinerant lessons are part of the delivery of the Music Curriculum. Those in senior classes are allocated first as these lessons are the basis of several of their Internal Assessments. Next are junior classes in year level order.

The Itinerant Programme was initially implemented as an attempt to level the playing field for those that were not in a position to have private music lessons, and therefore allow music to become a more inclusive subject. It is with this spirit that we offer these lessons. We suggest that if you are in a position to take to private lessons, you do, as it is unlikely that we will be able to offer all who register a place in the programme.
