Lessons 
Lessons are offered in school during the school day and are therefore subject to the agreement of your school for year 2 and above. We do not offer lessons at pupils’ homes. Not all instruments are taught, and all lessons are offered subject to availability.

Instrument Hire 
All pupils will need an instrument of their own, which is of good quality and the right size. You can hire an instrument from us (subject to availability), or make your own arrangements to provide an instrument for the pupil. We recommend hiring an instrument for the first 2 or 3 terms or learning. Please ask your instrumental teacher for advice before buying an instrument.

Please read our terms and conditions before completing the form.
