Instrumental Lessons in School

As we head to the end of term I will be starting to talk to the children in Reception to Year 2 about the different instruments available to learn from September.

If your child is already learning an instrument in school and you would like them to continue, you do not need to do anything.

If your child is currently in Year 1 and has been learning the recorder, please note their lesson will become a 30min lesson from September unless you wish to give notice.

In Year 2 we usually recommend only having lessons on one musical instrument.

In Year 3, we can discuss pupils having lessons on two instruments where appropriate.

If you would like to give notice on music lessons, please do so by emailing a.hayden@stpetersyork.org.uk

If you would like to sign your child up to learn a new instrument, please fill in the following form https://stpetersyork.jotform.com/221172681611853. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Mrs Hayden.

Individual Music lessons are offered for the following instruments:

Year 1 - recorders, taught in pairs. Please note you do not need to sort out a pair of children to sign your child up, our recorder teacher will sort the pairings out in September.

Year 2 and 3 lessons are all taught as individual lessons on the following instruments:

Year 2 - Recorder, piano, violin, cello and guitar

Year 3 - Recorder, piano, violin, cello, guitar, flute, clarinet, pocket cornet (smaller version of a cornet/trumpet, once the child has grown enough they can transfer onto a full sized instrument easily) or pbone (lighter version of a trombone - students once grown enough can easily transfer onto a trombone from this instrument) and drums.

The fees for 2023/24 are:

£25 per 30-minute lesson. Hire charge of £37 per term where appropriate. Please note we do not hire recorders, guitars or pianos.

Children in Year 1 will have a shared lesson with another pupil. Therefore please note that tuition fees for Year 1 are £12.50 per pupil.

York Symphony Orchestra open rehearsal Sunday 25th June 3-4pm

Year 2 children maybe interested to hear a live orchestra play the music by Bizet we have been listening to in class.
