Music In Schools

 

During the day, children in schools are studying a wide range of instruments. Our teaching staff uses exciting and contemporary material so the lessons are enjoyable as well as informative. The children are encouraged to practise at home to ensure good progress and can eventually work towards their grades. Even if the children choose not to take music exams in their instrument, they often gain an appreciation of music that can last a lifetime.

At each School we can provide music tuition in the following instrumental categories:

  • brass
  • woodwind
  • strings
  • piano
  • percussion
  • guitar (all styles)
  • voice.

We can also

  • conduct a variety of music groups
  • organise concerts
  • help prepare GCSE and A level practical work
  • support key stage 1,2,3, and 4 teachers with classroom music
  • take choir rehearsals and concerts
  • rehearse and perform the Christmas Nativity
  • provide classroom music teachers

If you are interested in any of the above please contact us for more information.

If you are interested in your child having instrumental tuition at school, please note the following:-

  • Before weekly lessons commence, each child is assessed for suitability by our instrumental staff. This is done via a 'Trial' lesson that costs £5.00 and is half an hour in length in group format (3-4 pupils). During this 'Trial' your child has the opportunity to play the instrument, meet the teacher and experience a lesson. The results are then forwarded to each parent so that an informed decision whether to book your child in for weekly lessons or not can be made.
  • Following the trial, you can sign your child up for regular weekly lessons. These are 30 minutes in duration and are available in three price ranges
    • Group (three or four pupils) £5.50
    • Shared (two pupils) £7.00
    • Individual lessons £11.00

When we timetable the lessons we ask parents for their preference for individual, shared or group lessons. Although we do our best to accommodate everyone’s preference we cannot guarantee that they will get their first choice as it depends on how many children take up the lessons?

The first terms' tuition fees are to be paid in advance by cheque before your child can commence lessons and are non-refundable. Each term offers between 10 to 12 lessons and the costs range from £66.00 (group), £84.00 (shared) to £132.00 (individual) per term. If your child starts lessons and then decides not to continue you must give half a term's notice (5 weeks), notifying Music for You in writing.

Please note that although Music for You supplies an instrument for use on the day of a trial lesson, each pupil will require their own instrument for use during weekly lessons and at home. Music for You has a sister company, Instruments for You, which offers both a monthly rental scheme, complete purchase and a hire-to-buy service. Instrument rentals are between £10.00 - £15.00 per month, hire-to-buy prices vary depending on the cost of the instrument but all purchases using this format require an initial payment of 1/3 of the total cost of the instrument.

Continuation of Lesson

Students who currently have instrumental lessons do not require a 'Trial' lesson. Parents who wish their children to continue instrumental tuition via Music for You are required to complete the attached form noting the information above about regular lessons. Music for You will then be in contact once full lesson arrangements have been confirmed with the school.
