Music Lessons

WE OFFER TUITION FOR INDIVIDUALS OR SMALL GROUPS OF TWO ONLY ON THE FOLLOWING INSTRUMENTS:

SAMC teachers are part of the Salisbury Area Music Cooperative who employ an agreed contract and fees structure as part of this organisation. We also have some private teachers work as solo practitioners and set their own contracts and fees. All teachers have been DBS checked, and are hand-picked by the school's music team.

 

To sign up for lessons, please contact teachers directly. They will then contact you directly as to their fees and contracts they operate their practices upon.

 

In some cases, students may want to study an instrument but family funds are not readily available. We believe that music should be available to all so, we are here to help. If you have any further enquiries or would like a chat please do not hesitate to contact me n.charlton@trafalgar.wilts.sch.uk
