Private Music Lessons are available to students in Grades 1 to 12, whose musical knowledge is at the beginner or advanced level. The Private Music Lessons Programme students and private instruments will continue to observe safety practices and procedures. 

Each week, students enrolled will receive a private half-hour lesson on the instrument of their choice either before or after school. All instructors are highly qualified musicians from the community and will each determine, through consultation with parents, the needs and goals of each child. Royal Conservatory of Music examination preparation is also an option available. This Programme is based on the full year and does not run on a term-by-term basis.
