When and where do music lessons take place?
Lessons are delivered weekly during term time only, except if you opt to enrol your child on fortnightly lessons, in which case, lessons will be delivered every other week during term time.
You can opt to enrol your child to individual music lessons of 20, 30 or 40 minutes. If your child is new to music, we would advise you to initially enrol your child to 20 minute-lessons and increase the lesson time as they reach more advanced grades.
Group lessons consist of grouped students and are capped at a maximum of 3. They are a great way for your child to start learning an instrument or singing. Lessons last 20 minutes when the group consists of 2 pupils and 30 minutes for a group of 3 students.
To maximise the learning experience, these are subject to having another student of similar ability to be paired/grouped with.
Group lessons are great fun and their benefits include:
enhanced bonding, support, and social interaction
fun learning environment
students learn and build confidence as they observe each other
group lessons help train the ear and prepare students for ensembles (bands, orchestra etc)
technical and musical skills are learned in group music lessons
When lessons are delivered in middle, upper and secondary schools, we work with schools and tutor availability and try, where possible, to rotate timetables to ensure that pupils do not miss the same class lesson each week.
When will music lessons begin?
Students can start lessons at any point in the year subject to teacher’s capacity.
What happens if my child misses lessons?
We aim to offer as many weekly lessons as possible across the academic year during term time. Find out the maximum number of possible lessons per term.
If your child does not attend their scheduled lesson, you will be charged for this lesson unless prior notice is given in line with our terms and conditions.
