MusicLessons
We make it a point in Primary Years to value a holistic approach to child development As part of this, children are given the opportunity to take instrumental or voice lessons. Children are given the chance to also show what they have learned through participation in recitals, larger concerts, and other events. Our aim is to give every child the chance to perform and in addition to performing music as a soloist, PY offers Choir and select instrumental ensembles.
Those wishing to register for next year are asked to complete the following form to be added to the new registrations Please read the terms and conditions carefully before responding! This will prevent confusion regarding lesson fees and structure.
