If you would like your child to learn a musical instrument during school time, please contact the school for an application form.

​

If places are available students will begin the term following receipt of their application. The application form will be passed on to the individual teacher concerned who will contact you to confirm a day and time for the student's lesson and to arrange for payment of fees.

​

Fees are specific to each instrumental teacher, however, as a guideline the following applies:

​

• $18.00 - $25.00 for a lesson of 30 minutes per week.

​

Term Fees will be invoiced and can be paid each term or before each lesson, either to the instrumental music teacher or may be dropped into the school office. Fees are due and payable on receipt of the student's first lesson. If payment is not received within a two week time frame, parents will be contacted and lessons may be stopped.

​

Instrument rental information can be accessed by contacting the front office at the school.  The school supplies instruments for the music lesson, however, each student must have access at home to the instrument they are learning as their is an expectation that they practice at home.

Guitar teacher, Joel Cooke is the leader of the school Rock Band. Students of the Instrumental Music Program who have shown a commitment to the learning of their chosen instrument are invited to audition for this band.  Auditions may be opened, at times, to all students at Epps.  Band sessions will not be charged for and will require some playtime and out of school hours commitment.

​

Parents can look forward to students performing at our music evenings which showcase how students have progressed during the year and at the school concert as front of curtain acts as their skills grow.  The rock band also plays at community events including the Festival of Music, fairs, Christmas parades, Tea Tree Plaza and is eager for any opportunity to perform.
