Learning

Music at Boxted St Peter’s CEVC School

Learning a musical instrument in school and singing lessons

For many years the school has had links with Essex Music Service, (EMS) who offer a range of musical options for schools to tap into.

One of those is providing DBS checked tutors to teach children, on a one to one basis, a musical instrument, such as guitar, keyboard and recorder/saxophone (woodwind) and, for the first time, offering singing lessons!

These lessons are held during the school day and can be for 15 or 30 minutes, running for 10 weeks per term.

The cost of the lessons is £97.50 (10 x 15 minutes) or £195 (10 x 30 minutes).

A reduction to the cost of the 15 minute lessons is available for families on a low income (less than £24,000) and the lessons are completely free for Looked After Children and Adopted Children

Children do not need any prior experience and instruments can either be hired from Essex Music Service or from the school for a reasonable cost, (we have guitars, recorders and keyboards).

Rock Steady – In-school band lessons for children of Primary age

Rock Steady Music School run a weekly session for children to come together to learn to play a musical instrument within a band setting.

At the end of each term, parent/carers are invited to come along to a concert to see the progress of the children, and see how their musical skills and confidence have grown.

If your child is interested in joining the band, please use the link below for further information about registering and the cost of the sessions:
