Notes about fees
If you are a new member, your first fees instalment includes a one-time $30 deposit for sheet music, which is refundable, on request, within 12 months of leaving the choir.
If you are a new member, then only your first instalment should include $30 additional payment added to the relevant rate listed above. For example, the first fee for new members paying non-concession fees in quarterly instalments is $160. The second and subsequent quarterly instalments for non-concession fees is $130. In other words, you pay a music deposit only once. This is true for both concessional and non-concessional members paying either quarterly or annually.
If you compare the fees paid in full at the beginning of the year with the fees paid in four instalments, you will notice that there is effectively a $20 discount for paying fees in full at the beginning of the year.
