Instrumental and vocal lessons are taught by specialist private peripatetic teachers, individually or in
small groups. The lessons take place during the school day on a weekly basis and are
rotated through the timetable to avoid pupils missing the same lesson every week. 

Fees

Invoices are sent out directly to parents by the teacher and must be paid promptly otherwise lessons may be stopped at the teacher’s discretion. Fees are set by the instrumental teacher and are subject to change each academic year at the discretion of the teacher. 

Practice

Regular practice at home is encouraged as it is known that pupils that do so make better progress
than those who don’t. In addition, we have a wide variety of extracurricular clubs which will also
benefit your child’s general musicianship skill. 

Instrument Hire

The cost of hiring an instrument is £50 per year. It can be useful to start on a school instrument before
committing to buying a brand new one! The number of instruments is limited so will be allocated on a
first come first served basis.

If you have any questions regarding instrumental tuition or instrument hire please do not hesitate
to contact the school office.
