Overview 

This is a ‘feeder’ for existing instrumental tuition in the school. It covers a whole class during a morning or afternoon. Different instruments can be offered in five-week cycles to meet your needs. Children can try instruments for a minimum of 10 weeks to help them decide which to play. Provision is for three hours a week, including assessment. The whole class is taught in small groups of up to six for five half-hour sessions, mornings or afternoons. It is an opportunity to try different instruments than what the school already offers.

What's included?

  • Basic stock of required instruments - instruments are dependent on agreed programme with school 
  • Tutor-led programme designed and planned by music specialist.
  • Each child assessed for enthusiasm and aptitude for the instrument.

Why you should choose us

This service allows a holistic musical experience for children. It provides students the chance to try out different instruments and find the instrument that is most suitable to them, and enables schools to find the most appropriate music offering for their context and requirements. It helps to develop musicianship skills essential to succeed in learning to play an instrument, and helps to develop their love of music.

Our Music Service is responsive and flexible, with talented teachers and partnerships with world-class national, regional and local ensembles, organisations and groups. We offer advice and guidance on curriculum music and development, as well as support in monitoring progress in music for all. The service also provides opportunities to nurture and develop young musical talent through frequent major performances in public venues. All our music tutors are DBS checked and quality assured.
