Musical Instrument Tuition

All pupils receive class music lessons with our specialist music staff every week. From the Summer Term of Year 1, opportunities exist for pupils to receive individual tuition in a range of musical instruments. All pupils in Year 1 learn to play the recorder and all pupils in Year 2 will participate in starter lessons for violin as part of their class music lessons, in the Autumn Term.

Instrumental teachers charge parents directly and lessons can only be provided if the fees have been paid in advance as requested by the teacher. In the unlikely event of wishing to withdraw a pupil from instrumental lessons, parents are expected to give five weeks’ written notice (not including holidays), or they will be liable to a half term’s fees in lieu.

Any parents who wish their children to learn to play an instrument should complete an Instrumental Lessons Request Form which may be obtained under the Junior School Forms section, on Firefly.

For any child wishing to take up a new musical instrument, please discuss with our Head of Junior School Music (Miss Siobhan Fox). Pupils are able to commence musical instrument tuition from the Summer Term of Year 1.
