How do I make a booking?
Head to the ‘booking’ tab, complete a form and book your new student call with Alina. She’ll chat availability and program suitability, and find the right spot for you! We are passionate about making sure each student is booked into the most suitable program based on their experience, personality and learning style, so we take the time to have a discussion with you first!
What is OUR catch-up policy?
For Private Lessons, if 24 hours notice of absence is provided via email, we can organise a catch-up lesson, subject to teacher availability, and arranged via our catchup lesson portal. Each student may accumulate ONE catchup lesson per term. To request your catch-up, please email us on info@alinawmusic.com.au.
For situations where unexpected illness occurs and 24 hours notice of absence is not possible, students may participate in a zoom lesson during their scheduled weekly lesson time. To organise this, please TEXT us on 0410 361 498 at least one hour before your lesson, so that we may arrange a zoom link.
For students who attend Group Classes, if you are absent from a class and provide notice of such, you may attend another group class of that same type throughout that week instead. To organise, please email us BEFORE your lesson on info@alinawmusic.com.au.
What performance opportunities do you offer?
