The “Djarts Student Teacher” course is completed over 12-15 sessions, generally conducted fortnightly over 2-3 terms. Lessons are charged at the ‘Individual Lesson’ rate (as per Daniel Kay’s rate). ‘Student Teachers’ must also continue a weekly individual singing lesson with Daniel Kay for the duration of the Student Teacher course.
