Tuition in a range of musical instruments are extra subjects taken by specialist teachers during or after class periods. They involve extra payment over and above school tuition fees. The boys will be asked early in February if they wish to study any of these subjects. Parents are asked to discuss these matters with their sons so that the boys will know what to do next year. The fee is the same fee charged by the Queensland Music Teachers' Association.
