"My child had never touched an instrument. Two terms in, they're playing songs at home without being asked."
"Lessons happen at school, so there's no extra drive. That alone made it work for our family."
"The lesson diary notes are great. I always know what they worked on and what to practise."

The fine print, in plain English
Term by term
Enrolment rolls over each term until you stop. To stop, email us at least 2 weeks before the next term starts. Enrolment is for the full term once it starts.
Missed lessons
Mark the absence in the parent portal before 9am on lesson day. Your child can receive one make-up lesson per term. Lessons missed without notice before 9am do not receive a make-up. A make-up lesson is also provided when a lesson is missed because of a school event or because our teacher is unavailable.
Paying
Lessons are billed per term (the lesson price multiplied by the number of lessons in that term), unless we've arranged otherwise with you. Your card is held and only charged once your child is booked in. Payment plans are available on request.
What your child gets
Intentional progression
Every student follows a clear, structured path using music books we've chosen. Lessons build solid technique and music reading, a strong foundation for AMEB exams if your child wants to sit them later.
Consistent feedback
Weekly lesson diary notes show what your child worked on and what to practise, and a written report each term shows how far they’ve come.
Performances
We work with your school to create chances to perform. At larger schools that may be a concert. At smaller schools it's an opportunity to play for classmates or at assembly.

About Primary Music Institute
Primary Music Institute has been bringing music lessons into schools since 1995, teaching more than 100,000 students along the way. Today we teach at 69 schools across Melbourne. Lessons happen at school, instruments are supplied, and we handle timetabling with each school, so families don't drive anywhere and schools don't carry the admin.
Our teachers are musicians who love teaching kids. Every one is auditioned, holds a Working with Children Check, and is trained in our method and our child safe policy, with our team behind them.
