Saturday Music aims to give children a musical
foundation. It does this by offering affordable music lessons
to childen aged from 4 to 12 years. Pupils are taught in
small groups by talented music teachers.
Saturday Music has one intake at the start
of each year. Enrolments for any year are accepted from
the Open Day of the previous year onwards. (This is held
the last Saturday in August) Early enrolment is recommended
as some rolls are capped.
Tuition for children aged 7 and up is
offered in the following instruments:
Violin
Cello
Recorder
Flute
Fife
Guitar
Keyboard
Drums
Clarinet
Saxophone
Trumpet
Cornet
Trombone
For younger children, aged from 4 to
6, we offer a Music Basics course.
These fun, interactive classes provide a
thorough grounding in the fundamental skills of music making,
before children start more formal tuition on their chosen
instrument.
Saturday Music provides a low cost, affordable
option for music lessons, as the classes are subsidised
by the Ministry of Education.
An instrument hire service is also available.
The following instruments are available for hire: flutes,
clarinets, violins (all sizes), cellos (all sizes), cornets,
trumpets and trombones. Saxophones may be available. Junior
flutes are provided for students enrolled in the combined
Recorder/Junior Flute classes, and percussion instruments
are provided for students enrolled in the Music Basics classes.
Pupils are expected to provide their own recorders, keyboards,
guitars and drumsticks with practice pad.
