Music Lessons: Junior and Senior School
The Music Department delivers almost 300 vocal and instrumental lessons every week. If your son or daughter would like to start having music lessons at our Junior or Senior School, or if you would like to receive furher details, please complete the interest form.
With regard to obtaining an instrument, the school rents to pupils a small number of instruments on a termly basis, for £20 per term. If an instrument is not available, the Music Department can advise on local music shops’ hire schemes. Parents are advised to make sure that musical instruments are well insured. To request an instrument, please also complete this form.
We will assume Junior School students having lessons will be continuing in September (Year 7) unless you inform us otherwise by the end of Summer Term.
We would like to encourage as many pupils as possible to learn a musical instrument as we have a large number of ensemble opportunities for musicians of all abilities. We can provide lessons for students in all years on the following:
Applications for lessons on Oboe, Bassoon, French Horn, Trumpet, Euphonium and Double Bass are particularly welcome. Occasionally there may be a short waiting list for some instruments.
Whilst we welcome applications for shared lessons, it should be noted that these can only proceed if a request from another student of an appropriate age and standard has also requested a shared lesson on the same instrument, which can lead to an undetermined delay in the commencement of lessons.
The lessons are organised on a rota basis and take place during the course of the school day. The school has a large number of instruments available for hire and these are available for the payment of a small termly maintenance charge.
Year 3 students will only be allowed one instrument in their first year.
Year 4 students will be allowed to take up a second instrument, if desired, from the Spring Term onwards.
If you have not been contacted by an instrumental teacher by the end of September, please email music@hymers.org.
