Instrument Hire
Please note that Instruments Hired from the APS Music Committee are invoiced directly by the APS Music Committee (not Key Music Australia) at a rate of $210 per year.

**PLEASE NOTE THE HIRE FEES LISTED ABOVE ARE THE 2023 FEES. THE 2024 HIRE FEES ARE EXPECTED TO BE SIMILAR**
Lesson Type
For new beginners, we recommend a group lesson (maximum of 6 students in a lesson) for the first year of lessons. After one year of group lessons, it is recommended that students progress to a private lesson.

All music lessons will be held on-site at school before and after school.

**PLEASE NOTE group and shared lessons are not available for percussion students**

**GROUP lessons are not always suitable for every student. Children need to be able to concentrate, stay focussed and work in a group environment for 30mins. Students who are found to not be suitable for group lessons may need to be moved to private lessons at the discretion of Key Music Australia staff.**
Band Rehearsal Fee
The Band Rehearsal Fee for all bands is $98 (inc GST) per term.
This fee includes the cost of conductors at rehearsals and performances and will automatically be included on your invoice issued by Key Music Australia each term. The first invoice will be issued via email in Term 1.
Band Camp
Band camp is usually held on a Wednesday to Friday in August or September and consists of 2 nights and 3 days at CRU Galston Gorge Recreation Centre. It is a great learning experience and lots of fun for the children. They get tutored, play music and perform. The cost of band camp is approximately $310 and payable by parents to the APS Music Committee (not Key Music Australia). Parents are also asked to volunteer to help with daytime and overnight supervision.

Parent Involvement
Key Music Australia works in partnership with the P&C Band Committee and School staff to run the APS Band Program. Parent volunteers are essential to the success of the program. Families are needed to assist with the running of the band program. There are a number of small jobs that need to be done throughout the year. Some jobs need to be done on a weekly basis, others are only a few times a year. If every family does a small amount throughout the year, the jobs can be shared around easily. Please consider helping out so your children can benefit the most from their time in the school band.
**Ticking a box here is not committing you to a specific job. It will just allow the band committee to make contact with families who may be to able to assist at some point during the year**
