All
pupils are welcome to receive instrumental tuition, the cost of which
will be added to the end of term bill. Parents of new pupils will be
sent an instrumental lesson request form to return at the beginning of
their child's first term at the College. Alternatively parents may
contact the music department at any time during the pupil's school
career to request lessons. Requests for lessons, and notice to cancel
them, must be received by the music department in writing. In order to
fulfil contractual arrangements with teaching staff, a full term's (10
lessons') notice must be given for lessons to be discontinued.
Music staff are always happy to give advice about the best
instruments to choose if lessons have not been taken previously. All new
pupils take a test in aural aptitude when they first join the College,
and if a pupil is identified as having musical ability, it will be
recommended to his/her parents that he/she consider learning a musical
instrument, or take singing lessons.
