Holistic Music operates on a monthly flat-fee model for tuition fees. This is to make payments streamlined, stable and predictable for all. It also reflects the nature of music tuition as being ideally a commitment of a year at a time.

The tuition fees are calculated over the full year, then distributed over 12 equal monthly instalments. This means payments do not reflect how many lessons are received that month, they just balance out over the year to cover the full annual tuition fees. 

It follows the same principle as a payment plan for higher education fees. This is based on a ‘lesson-year’ of 48 lesson-weeks for adults. We have a 4-week studio break from mid-December to mid-January.

You can read more about our tuition pricing and studio policy here.

If you have planned absences such as holidays or special events, we simply ask for as much notice as possible, so we can schedule make up lessons. You are eligible for up to two make up lessons per quarter, which can be fulfilled according to our mutual availability. Lessons may be able to be rescheduled in the same week on occasion, depending on availability but this is not guaranteed.

It is never "too late" to learn music. Learning an instrument, or singing, is a great way to keep yourself engaged with learning at any age, as the process of learning something new is always good for us! Music can be that thing you do to exercise your mind, your body, and to carve out time in your life to connect with yourself, your inner world, and your joy.

We have a flexible and gentle approach, so you will never feel judged or compared to someone else. Your musical journey is your own, and we are here to support you.

The best way to see if there is availability that suits your schedule is to check the calendar on the booking page. You can view the calendar without making payment, to ensure you can find a suitable time before proceeding. If you can't see a suitable time on the calendar, you can contact us to see if there is anything we can do behind the scenes to free up a time.

For ongoing lessons, there is the option of either doing weekly or fortnightly sessions. We understand that you have a lot of things to juggle in your life, and your time and energy are precious. We do recommend a minimum of 45 minute lessons every fortnight, to make sure we can keep momentum going on your journey. You may also opt for casual sessions, which are a little more expensive, and are subject to limited availability.
