Music Lessons

Chauncy School has a thriving Music Department and we are in a position to offer individual music lessons and the opportunity for pupils to participate in lunch-time activities such as choir, wind ensemble and rock band.   We offer the following individual lessons – all taught one-to-one, at the school:

Woodwind (Flute, Clarinet, Saxophone, Oboe)	Drum Kit
Guitar (Classical, Acoustic, Electric, Bass)	Singing (Classical or contemporary)
Piano or Keyboard	Brass
Strings (Violin, Viola, Cello)

Student’s lessons take place during the school day and we try to change lesson times to avoid the same lesson being missed each week.  Tutor timetables are displayed in the Music Department and students will have access to the music lesson App to find their lesson times. 

We offer students 33 lessons across the course of the academic year and fees are collected in three equal payments each term. 

Tuition fees are:

30 mins individual tuition         £285.78 per term, 

20 mins individual tuition         £190.52 per term

Should you be in receipt of Free School Meals your child will be eligible for up to 20 minutes free instrumental music lessons per week.  Partial assistance with fees is available if you are in receipt of other benefits. 

Pupils are expected to attend lessons regularly to qualify for assistance with fees.  Please contact the Finance Office for further information.

Please note:  The school requires half term’s written notice if your child wishes to cease tuition.  The school reserves the right to cancel tuition if fees are not paid and will charge half term’s fees in lieu of notice.

If your child wants to start an instrument but does not know which to choose, please feel free to contact the music department.  If you wish your child to commence lessons, please read the Music Lesson Booklet and download, complete and return the application form to the Finance Office
