Learning in school
Lessons in school can be taught individually, in pairs or small groups of up to six pupils. In one-to-one lessons children benefit from focused individual instruction. In pairs and groups, children can enjoy learning alongside their peers who are at a similar level.
Contact your school to find out what instruments are available for your son/daughter. If the instrument your child would like to learn isn’t available, ask the school to contact the Music Service to see if lessons can be provided in school.
