Instrumental/Singing Lessons

Dear all,

We hope you are keeping well.  Please see the information below for students who are continuing with instrumental/singing lessons or who would like to start lessons

Instrumental/singing lessons will resume in school next week.

Students studying A-level and GCSE music receive a weekly instrumental lesson, as part of their course, free of charge.  For other students there is a charge for these lessons and those taking them will either be invoiced by school or by the instrumental/singing teacher.

Woodwind, Brass, Guitar and Cello lessons are provided by the music service and for these lessons you will be invoiced by school.  The charges for these lessons are

Group lesson – £10 per week

Individual lesson – £20 per week

An annual invoice will be sent and payment can be made by standing order (our preferred method) or via ParentPay. Regardless of your payment method payments must be kept up to date and paid for in full by 30.06.21  .  If an instrument is on the endangered list these lessons are at a reduced price and an adjustment will be made to the amount charged.

If paying by Standing Order the details you will require are :

Acount Name: Trinity School

Singing, Piano, Drums/percussion and Violin lessons are provided by private teachers who will invoice parents directly and these rates vary depending on the teacher.

To enable our instrumental/singing teachers to get their timetables sorted and up and running as quickly as possible I would be grateful if you could email them directly to arrange lessons for your son/daughter.
