Music at South Grove
Learn an Instrument!
At South Grove Primary, we want all of our students to have the chance to learn a musical instrument. Currently, students learn the recorder in Year 2 and the ukulele in Year 4, with free music clubs available for guitar, keyboard, drumming and singing.
For more in-depth music education, Waltham Forest Music Hub (WFMH) offers instrumental lessons during school hours. These lessons are available at a termly cost to parents/carers.
The instruments taught include:
- Strings: violin, viola, cello, double bass
- Woodwind: clarinet, flute, oboe, saxophone, recorder
- Brass: cornet, trumpet, trombone, euphonium, French horn
- Guitar: acoustic, electric, bass
- Drum kit
- Piano and keyboard
Lessons run for 35 weeks a year:
- Autumn Term: 12 weeks
- Spring Term: 11 weeks
- Summer Term: 12 weeks
Lesson costs (per student) are:
- 10 minutes: £8.52/week
- 15 minutes: £12.78/week
- 20 minutes: £17.03/week
- 30 minutes:£25.55/week
Term Costs:
- Autumn (12 weeks): £102.20 - £306.60
- Spring (11 weeks): £93.68 - £281.05
- Summer (12 weeks): £102.20 - £306.60
- Full Year (35 weeks): £298.08 - £894.25
Reduced fees of up to 50% are available for children eligible for Pupil Premium.
Lessons can be individual, in pairs, or in small groups (up to 6 for some instruments), making them more enjoyable and affordable.
WFMH offers instrument leases for a termly fee of £27 (£14 for low-income families) for most instruments except keyboards and drum kits, but they can recommend affordable options for these.
