Itinerant Lesson Costs

Note for new Year 7 students

All Year 7 students will be tested for their potential music aptitude (natural ability) and those who show particular talent will be offered a place in the Year 7 band where lesson fees are removed but there is an agreement to play in the band for 2 years minimum.

Registering for Music Lessons

Sign-up here as soon as you can : Itinerant Music Registration Form

This registration process needs to be done each year, even if students have previously received lessons in school, as part of the itinerant music scheme. Completed forms will be collated by our department to place students. You will not be allocated lessons if you don’t register.

Placements are awarded to students on a first come first served basis.

Terminating Lessons

Should a student wish to terminate their lessons, they are required to email music@orewacollege.nz and lessons and payment will terminate at the end of that term.

End of Year Reports

Reports will only be supplied to students by their itinerant music teacher if they have successfully completed all 4 terms with them.

Music Information Evening Term 1

There is also a Music Information evening in February where new students will have the opportunity to find out more about the instruments we offer and register for lessons.
