Instrumental Music Enrolment Form

Welcome to the Preshil Instrumental Music Program

We are delighted that your child is joining the Preshil Instrumental Music Program. Individual music tuition is an important part of the Preshil experience, providing students with the opportunity to develop their musical skills, creativity and confidence while learning from experienced professional musicians and educators.

Please complete one enrolment form for each instrument your child wishes to learn. Once your enrolment has been received, the Music Administrator and Head of Music will allocate a suitable tutor and arrange lesson scheduling. Wherever possible, requests for a preferred tutor will be accommodated.

Enrolment in the Instrumental Music Program is ongoing and will continue from year to year unless written notice of withdrawal is provided in accordance with the program's terms and conditions.

We look forward to supporting your child's musical journey and welcoming them into our vibrant music community.

Warm Regards

Michelle Berner (Head of Music)
