Instrumental and singing lessons are provided to schools and colleges in Brighton & Hove by our team of more than 50 specialist teachers:

  • Pupils start by learning together in small groups
  • Pupils receive an Introductory Course of lessons in their first term at the end of which they receive a written report
  • Lessons last for 30 minutes and usually take place at school during the school day
  • 30 lessons are offered across the academic year
  • Pupils are given opportunities to perform individually and as part of the group to support the development of listening and ensemble skills whilst developing their instrumental technique
  • Pupils follow a curriculum developed by Music & Arts instrumental and singing teachers linked to a national framework for instrumental learning
  • Individual lessons are available through our Advanced Scheme for pupils at an appropriate stage of learning

All schools will receive an instrumental demonstration as part of our Get into Music recruitment programme.  These generally take place in Key Stage 1 and 2 during the summer term before lessons commence and at the beginning of September for all Year 7 pupils.  However we welcome applications at any time, from up to a maximum of two terms before your preferred instrument is offered.  See Which instruments can I learn:

  • Places are allocated on a first come first served basis on receipt of your application.
  • When teaching groups have been established the instrumental teacher will contact you to confirm the date and time of the first lessons
  • When you have received confirmation that your child will start lessons arrangements need to be made to acquire an instrument in readiness for the first lessons (How do I get an instrument?)
  • If it is not possible to start tuition you will receive confirmation that your child has been placed on a waiting list.  Waiting lists are regularly monitored and we would aim to start within a term.
