LESSONS

Lessons last half an hour (both individual and group).
Lessons are taught during the school day on a rotational basis to minimise repeated absence from a single subject lesson. Only GCSE and A-level students are given fixed lesson times.
Timetables are displayed on the notice board in the music block from the beginning of each half term. Any alterations will be posted there.
Lessons missed due to pupil absence or school trips will not be caught up.
Lessons missed due to staff absence will be re-scheduled if it would result in less than 30 lessons per year.
Pupils must provide their own instrument for lessons and bring it each week. We have a small selection of instruments available to borrow from school (mainly for year 7 pupils), please contact the music department for further information.

PUPILS MUST

Practice regularly and as their teacher advises.
Check the music notice board at least weekly to check their lesson time.
Excuse themselves at the beginning of school classes, before their music lesson.
Label their instrument cases and music folders.
Store instruments in the locked facilities provided.
Take their instrument home on the day of their lesson. The school cannot except responsibility for instruments left outside of normal school hours.
Take part in at least one of the school ensembles – The school heavily subsidises lesson fees so it is expected that all pupils contribute to the musical life of the school.

THE (NOT SO) FINE PRINT

Fees are charged on the basis of 30 lessons over the 38 weeks in school (averaged at 10 lessons per term).
To cancel lessons a notice period of one half term is required. Please submit a request in writing to the Head of Music; otherwise full payment for the term will be incurred.
Unless otherwise notified, we will assume that lessons continue into the next school year.
If an instrument is over subscribed a waiting list will be started.
Pupils may study up to two instruments in school, as long as academic work does not suffer.
Application forms and fees should be returned to the SCHOOL OFFICE as soon as possible. Places will be allocated on a first come – first serve basis.
