Music – Instrumental Lessons I have had lots of enquiries about instrumental tuition recently, which is wonderful. Many children have lessons in school and some learn with private tutors out of school. There are two options available if you would like your child to learn an instrument in school. The lessons need to be arranged and paid for by parents/carers, however they are delivered at school, during the school day.
Tees Valley Music Services (TVMS) TVMS teachers come into school and provide individual tuition (they can teach in groups if there is enough interest for a particular instrument) on many instruments. You can find details of what they offer, costs and details of how to sign up through their website: https://www.tvms.org.uk/tuition
Rocksteady Bailey, one of Rocksteady’s band leaders, comes into school every Tuesday morning to deliver group sessions. The children can learn to play: drums, keyboard, bass, electric guitar or vocals and collectively choose the songs they wish to learn and play in their bands.
There are some spaces available for certain instruments in the bands. If you are interested or would like further information including costs please visit their website: https://www.rocksteadymusicschool.com/
Please ask if you have any queries. Warmest regards, Mrs Conway – Music Coordinator
Have a wonderful weekend,
Miss Brady
