Private Tuition and
Buddy Lessons
At Bright Minds Music, we understand that every student’s journey is unique. That’s why we offer a small number of private tuition and buddy lesson options alongside our group classes.
Private Tuition
Private lessons are available for students who need to catch up to a group class—for example, students who join up to five weeks after the start of a group intake.
We recommend one 30-minute private lesson for every two missed group classes to help students feel confident and ready to participate.
FEES: $45 per 30-minute private lesson (books additional).
Buddy Lessons
Buddy lessons are a great option for:
-
Two students who prefer a smaller, more personalised group, or
-
Siblings who would love to learn piano together.
These sessions provide the perfect balance of individual attention and the joy of shared learning.
FEES: $40 per student, per 45-minute lesson (books additional).
Availability
As most of our group classes run outside school hours, places for private and buddy lessons are limited. Please contact us to enquire about current availability.
