Private Music Instruction

Registration Havergal College supports private music lessons for Havergal students in two ways. The school: (1) provides the facilities for the lessons and (2) ensures that all private music instructors working at Havergal complete a vulnerable sector screening check, are of a high quality and fully comply with policies related to abuse, harassment and social media.

Students in the Band and Strings Program are afforded the opportunity of renting instruments from the school.

All arrangements related to instruction are managed entirely by the private music instructor, with support from the Director of Arts. This includes the scheduling of lessons, provision of music, billing and invoicing for lessons and issuing of tax receipts. Every effort is made to accommodate all applications; however, from time to time, waiting lists are required for popular instruments. Applications will be sent to the private music instructors who will contact the family to schedule lessons and make arrangements for payment. Once enrolled, parents will be sent a commitment letter outlining payment details and cancellation policies and this must be signed and returned with payment prior to the commencement of the first lesson.

Parents or students with questions or comments regarding private music lessons should address them directly to the student’s instructor or the Director of Performing Arts.
