Why is TSM so cheap? For the price of one 30 minute private lesson, students can sign up for a whole year of lessons with us. These short lessons are funded by the Ministry of Education and are designed to fill a gap in the curriculum that primary school education does not fill. This is why primary school aged children, or children who are not eligible for itinerant lessons in high school are eligible for lessons at the school of music.  

The concept of these lessons is that they are short lessons: Those who wish to engage more deeply with their musical study will be able to join the ensemble and also ask for private music lessons from their tutors. 

2. Why do you not offer piano lessons at TSM? We are not funded for providing piano lessons. 

Please see the tab on our website to find a piano teacher in the local area.

Timaru School of Music is an out of hours music scheme funded by the Ministry of Education. The school of music is based at Waimataitai School, Timaru. Lessons are held in several of the school buildings Mondays to Wednesdays during term time.
