Who is this for?

This programme is for key stages 2 and 3.

Cost  

Full school year booking is £1,600, or a 10-week block is £650.

Our offer

We believe that every child should have the opportunity to learn an instrument, something which is supported by the National Plan for Music Education (pdf format, 566Kb).

Subsidised by funding from the Arts Council, England, our whole class ensemble tuition (WCET) will compliment your school music provision, which includes skills from across the national curriculum as well as instrument-specific skills.

Alongside these, learning an instrument gives children the chance to develop resilience, confidence and self-esteem.

About the programme

You can expect:

• An initial meeting with your teacher to talk about the particular needs of your class or group.
• Weekly sessions linked to the national curriculum.
• A set of instruments for the duration of the programme.
• A whole class performance, led by our staff, at the end of the programme.
• The opportunity to work towards an arts award qualification.
• An overview of the instrumental and national curriculum skills covered to contribute to your school’s music development plan.
• Short learning overview paragraph for inclusion in annual reports.
• The chance to book either a full school year or a 10 week block.
• One free session for all pupils at one of our Saturday music centres
