Instrumental Hire

MUSIC LESSONS

  • Scholars receive 30 lessons over the academic year.
  • The length of each lesson is 35 minutes, although more advanced pupils may receive lessons of an hour's duration on request or advice from the department.
  • Timetables for lessons are published on the Music Department notice board at the start of each term
  • Scholars in 4th and Remove may need to miss academic lessons for their music lessons. However, this is scheduled on a rota system so that scholars do not miss the same academic lesson more than twice a term. Lessons on a second instrument will always take place during non-academic times.
  • All who take music lessons are encouraged to perform in lunchtime recitals and to enter the annual instrumental music competition.
