Application for Instrumental Lessons


Instrument Hire 

All pupils will need an instrument of their own, which is of good quality and the right size. You can hire an instrument from us (subject to availability), or make your own arrangements to provide an instrument for the pupil. We recommend hiring an instrument for the first 2 or 3 terms or learning. Please ask your instrumental teacher for advice before buying an instrument.
