- 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.

- 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. Both of these instruments are provided for use at school but students still need their own for home practice)
