- In group & duo lessons we try to put kids learning the same instrument together but this is not always possible as it depends on numbers
- Lessons are all 30 mins and are scheduled at various times through the school day. We aim to work out a lesson time that is least disruptive to the class timetable.
- Students have the opportunity to enter the Kids on Key annual Talent Quest
- After school timeslots might be available but this varies from year to year
- Students are required to have their own instrument and bring to school for their weekly lesson. (The only exception to this is keyboard & drums. These 2 instruments are provided for use at school but students still need their own for home practice)
- If you need help with purchasing or hiring an instrument please contact us
- There are opportunities for students to join the school rock band
- We always have a major end of year concert for families and other performing opportunities are encouraged where possible
