Music Lessons

We are pleased to offer your child the chance to have lessons on an instrument or voice. These lessons are taught by specialist visiting music teachers who are all fully trained and experienced musicians:

Chris Lee – Brass
Laura Western – Piano, Woodwind and Keyboard
Ben Winn – Drum kit and Percussion
Steve Holmes – Guitar and Bass Guitar
Elizabeth Woolnough – Strings
Ieva Molyte- Piano and Keyboard
Jamie Bardwell- Guitar

Lessons are taught in 20 or 30-minute slots. The cost of a single lesson is currently £19.50 for a 30-minute individual lesson or £13.00 for a 20-minute individual lesson. Violin, Cello and Double Bass are charged at the slightly higher rate of £22 for 30 minutes / £14.70 for 20 minutes, as this is what the Music Service charges us for the String teacher. Lessons are purchased in half-termly blocks.  You will be sent an invoice at the beginning of each half-term for those lessons via ParentPay. Refunds cannot be offered once a block of lessons has been purchased but in the event of a teacher being absent, either a credit or a refund will be made. Should payment not be made by the beginning of the next half-term block, then lessons will need to be suspended.

All instrumental and vocal lessons take place during the academy day. There will be a timetable displayed at the entrance to the Music Room. It is the students’ responsibility to check this regularly, so they do not miss their lesson. They should leave their classroom lesson five minutes before their instrumental lesson begins. Please be aware that some lessons may run into break or lunchtime. Students must catch up on all work missed, as advised by their class teachers. There will be approximately 10 lessons timetabled per term (please note that this may vary depending on the length of each term).
