Which Instruments Can I Learn?

Instrumental learning opportunities are offered in partnership with schools and colleges in the city. Pupils are first offered the opportunity to take up an instrument at different stages of their school lives – please see below.

It is possible to take up an instrument at a later stage in response to the needs of pupils and schools. Please note that we do not currently offer every instrument in all schools.
