Each week over 3000 pupils receive lessons on a range of instruments including: violin, viola, cello, double bass, guitar, bass guitar, drumkit, cornet, trumpet, trombone, tuba, baritone, euphonium, tenor horn, French horn, saxophone, flute, clarinet, bassoon, oboe, recorder, keyboard, piano, percussion and singing,
To keep costs to a minimum and for pupils to benefit from learning together, teaching takes place in small groups, although individual tuition may be available at area Music Centres. Lessons take place each week and pupils follow a varied curriculum, which seeks to combine the necessary musical and technical development with the sense of fun and enjoyment, which can be gained from learning to play an instrument. Practical support is also given to GCSE and A level courses.
To support their weekly instrumental lesson, every pupil is provided with a Practice Diary to record weekly achievements and parents receive a detailed written report on their child’s progress at the end of each year.
