Lessons are 20 minutes and take place during the school day with the option of a
1-1 lesson or a shared 2-1 lesson*
Children play in a fun, relaxed and motivating environment where they learn
how to read music, dynamics, phrasing and instrument technique.
Young musicians are introduced to a variety of music to encourage and help them to enjoy their instrument and are also given a Merit Card where they can earn merits for their music and achieve our Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards.
* shared lessons are not available for piano or strings.
We ask children to practice for 10 minutes 4-5 times a week. Parents play a big part in this, encouraging, supporting and reminding their child to practice. The best results are when practice becomes part of your daily routine. Children sometimes can be unwilling to practice but once they start they really enjoy themselves, skills gained from playing a musical instrument improves concentration and transfers to other subjects, the rewards are well worth the effort.
