We’re thrilled to share some exciting updates that will take place at the beginning of 2025. As well as a slight price adjustment and some changes to our payment plans, we are giving a substantial boost to our teaching team. Here’s what is happening and how it benefits you:


What’s New?

Better Teachers, Better Lessons: We’re offering our amazing teachers permanent part-time contracts, ensuring more stability with fewer teacher absences and stronger, long-term teacher-student relationships. We are the first and only music school in Canberra to be able to achieve this and this small price increase will make It possible.

Top-Tier Resources: We’ve recently done a lot of upgrades to all teaching rooms — new computers, Ableton Live Suite 12 software and hardware, recording microphones, acoustic treatment, etc. We’ve also added online storage (via Google Drive) for students to access Guitar Pro 8 files, MuseScore projects, and exam videos, and term reports.

More Opportunities: Enjoy more concerts, workshops, and recording sessions to help your children grow as musicians.

Support for Our Community: This initiative supports live music venues, local music stores, and creates career pathways for aspiring musicians and teachers in Canberra.


What Does This Mean for You?

You’ll experience:

  • More consistent and higher-quality lessons.

  • Opportunities to work with passionate, engaged teachers who have the support they need to thrive.

  • A premium learning environment with the tools to help you succeed.

How it will affect pricing:

  • The lesson cost is going up slightly but only in alignment with the Consumer Price Index over the past three years from when we last raised our prices.

  • The price is changing from $180 per fortnight to $190 per fortnight, which equates to $47.50 per half hour lesson or $95 per hour.

  • The price is changing from $340 per fortnight to $360 per fortnight, which equates to $45 per half hour lesson or $90 per hour.

  • The price is changing from $255 per fortnight to $480 per fortnight, which equates to $500 per half hour lesson, which equates to $42 per half hour lesson or $82 per hour.

What happens if you go away during holidays:

  • If you go away for just one week, we will offer you makeup lesson with your child’s teacher, another teacher or on another instrument (this can be a great opportunity for children to try our different instruments and expand their musicianship!

  • If you are going away for the full two weeks or longer, you can still suspend lessons for that duration, as long as it is no more than four weeks and we will not bill you during that time.

What if it is no longer affordable:

  • If this price increase means that you can no longer afford lessons due to financial difficulties you are experiencing, please contact us to discuss how we can help to keep it affordable for you. Email jake@fretvision.com or call 62550016.

  • You are not locked into a contract and can cancel at any time

We’re not just investing in our teachers and facilities—we’re investing in your children and the future of music in Canberra. Let’s make this next chapter even more incredible together.
