Northern Rivers Conservatorium

The Program for Saturday’s Music Marathon has been set, so you can plan your day around the acts you wish to catch.

Lismore will be pumping with the Gasfield Free Northern Rivers Rally, Lismore Handmade Market, and Light’n Up charity sale at the Tender Centre – stay hydrated and love your community!

We have decided to donate 10% of all funds raised in excess of our $7000 to Lock the Gate, so remember that all donations over $2 are tax deductible – just let us know if you need a receipt!

Walk-a-thon, Read-a-thon, Swim-a-thon, Music Marathon!

On Saturday November 1, 10:00-4:00 witness 12 hours of non-stop music as Conservatorium Students raise funds for new equipment. 10:00-4:00 may only be 6 hours, but two stages running simultaneously gives twelve hours of performing!

With all students collecting sponsorship for their performances, the fundraising goal for the day is $7,000.

Teacher and student wish lists include items such as new music stands, orchestral chairs, syllabus resources, and instruments for use in class and for hire. The more funds we raise, the more resources we can buy to benefit our students, so the generosity of our supporters is key to the success of this event.

The Acoustic Stage in the Concert Room upstairs in the Conservatorium building will feature piano solos and orchestral instruments and small ensembles, whilst the Courtyard Stage out the front with Lismore Handmade Market will showcase vocal, and guitar students, as well as larger Ensembles and our current Diploma and Certificate III students.

Over 800 students are enrolled in the Conservatorium, ranging in ages from barely any hair yet to barely any hair left. Diversity is celebrated in all Conservatorium concerts, so with 12 hours of acts, audiences are guaranteed great variety.

Community members are welcome to sponsor the event with donations directly to our fundraising account – BSB 082-707 Account # 629690838. Donations over $2 are tax deductable.

Conditions of Enrolment

Enrolment

An enrolment becomes valid and lessons can commence upon confirmation of lesson placement by the Northern Rivers Conservatorium (NRC) Administration.
Enrolment is continuing for the whole calendar year until notice of withdrawal (see Student Withdrawal).
Term dates for Community Music are as published by the NSW Department of Education, with Music in Schools term dates advised by your participating school.
Music in School schedules of lessons are available online at our website and it is the responsibility of parents, carers, and students to ensure that they have the latest timetable.

Fees

A registration fee is payable once a year by every student enrolled.
An invoice for fees will be raised at the beginning of each term for all enrolled students.
Fees are on a term basis and payable within seven days of the date of invoice, unless NRC has agreed to a regular payment arrangement.
In the event of financial hardship, please contact the office to discuss payment plans and/or apply for fee assistance through our bursary programme.
Any student with outstanding fees from a previous term will be automatically withdrawn. Students may only re-enrol if accounts are paid in full or an approved payment schedule implemented; in this case it may not be possible to provide the student with the same lesson time, day or teacher.

Delivery of Lessons

Lessons begin and end promptly at the designated time.
It is the student’s responsibility to attend their lessons on time. For Music In Schools students, our families are asked to check the schedules prior to their child’s day and remind their child prior to leaving home.

Missed Lessons / Refunds

NRC must be informed of all absences, with 24 hours’ notice where possible, by phone (6621 2266), SMS (0448 026 211), or email admin@nrcac.edu.au
Credits or refunds are not given for missed lessons, unless due to tutor absence.

Make-up Lessons

Make-up lessons are only available to Community Music students, with a maximum of one make-up lesson per term.
Tutors can deliver make-up lessons only if they have available time and have received more than 24 hours’ notice of the absence.
In the event that a make-up lesson is not available, one of the following options may be chosen instead: one free attendance to one of the holiday make-up workshops offered each year that is equivalent to two hours’ music education activity, OR one free ticket to an NRC visiting artist’s concert/workshop event.

Change of Teacher

NRC reserves the right to supply a substitute tutor if the original tutor is unavailable.

Student Withdrawal

Two weeks’ notification is required for any withdrawal and must be given in writing to the NRC office.

Disclaimer

NRC reserves the right to review and implement changes to fees at any time.
Our tutors reserve the right to discontinue lessons where student behaviour is deemed inappropriate.
