Individual music lessons are 30 minutes in length and take place on a rolling rota throughout the school day. All lessons will be charged at £21 for a 30 minute individual lesson. Where two pupils share a lesson the charge will be £12 per pupil for the 30 minute lesson.

Each music teacher will deal with invoicing and any queries and will contact parents directly with the relevant information about timing and expectations. Half a term’s notice in writing to the relevant teacher is required for any pupil wishing to stop lessons.

It is suggested that parents consider renting instruments. We recommend ABC Music in Esher High Street who will be able to advise you. However, Mrs Hill is able to organise a limited selection of Brass instruments, please indicate on the reply slip if you wish to enquire about these Brass instruments.

If your child would like to learn an instrument, please complete the relevant form and return it to the school office.

Pupils who currently learn an instrument do not need to complete a form as they will automatically continue in September, unless half a term’s notice has been received by the relevant teacher.
