FAQs

  • WHAT DAYS ARE YOU OPEN?
    We have classes every day of the week! Our admin phone hours are Monday-Friday 7:30am-7:30pm and Saturday 8am-2pm
  • HOW DO I ENROL?
    Send us an email: info@ismturramurra.com.au
  • IS THERE A REGISTRATION FEE?
    No, but we ask parents to pay upfront for a Term. For group classes we offer a free trial lesson and then should you wish to proceed the first lesson becomes part of the term’s fees.
  • IS THERE A WAITING LIST
    For private lessons we normally have slots available. Some group classes are full and others have space but we cannot guarantee to offer a suitable class on your preferred day. We always have new classes being formed and establish a wait list until a class becomes viable.
  • DO I NEED TO HAVE A PIANO AT HOME FOR GROUP?
    Beeboppers do not require pianos, however all our other programs require that you have a digital or acoustic piano at home for them to practise on.
  • HOW LONG IS EACH CLASS?
    The Beebopper classes for three year olds and the Pianorama Junior, Primary and Intermediate courses for 4 – 7 year olds are 45 minutes. The Pianorama Extension course is 60 minutes. Private lessons are usually 30 minutes but for higher grades and older children can be either 45 or 60 minutes.
  • HOW MANY STUDENTS IN A CLASS?
    Group classes are capped at 10 students each. We generally do not start new classes with less than 3 or 4 students to ensure the best group dynamics. Our average group size is around 6. Private lessons are one-to-one.
  • AS A PARENT HOW MUCH AM I INVOLVED?
    Parents/Carers have to attend Beeboppers and it is preferable to attend the 4 year old junior classes. It is useful for parents to assist with practise and motivation at home.
  • DO YOU ACKNOWLEDGE PREVIOUS MUSIC TUITION?
    Yes we do which is why we ask about prior experience in our initial conversation with parents. We try to then place the child in the best class that suits their age and previous level of experience.
  • WHAT DO THE MATERIALS COST?
    The cost of materials (books and CDs) varies by program but is generally in the range of $35 - $42. These materials generally last around 6 months before the children progress to the next level.
  • ARE THERE DISCOUNTS FOR REGISTERING MORE THAN ONE CHILD?
    We offer a 20% discount for a third and subsequent child.
  • DISCOUNTS FOR FRIENDS/FAMILY?
    We offer a 10% discount off the first term for any friends and family brought along.
  • CLASSES FOR ALL AGES?
    We have classes from 3-99. You're never too old to start learning a musical instrument and we'd love to help you on your journey.
