How Do I Setup Lessons?
If you are a parent interested in your child having lessons within school then please contact your school's Head of Music/Music Co-ordinator and they will be able to assist you. If you are a school interested in arranging lessons for pupils then before contacting Accredited Teachers, please consider the following questions:
-
Which instrumental lessons would you like to offer to pupils?
-
Do you have enough interest for a tutor to come into school? We would suggest a minimum tuition period of 1 hour to attract a tutor to come into school. This could be 3 x 20 minute individual/shared lessons or 2 x 30 minute individual/shared lessons. Some tutors will come to school for less time if they are already teaching in a neighbouring school and do not have too far to travel.
-
If you don’t have enough interest at present, would a tutor come into school to provide a demo to a class or in assembly to increase awareness/interest? Or, would they offer a free taster session to a group of pupils?
Once schools know how many pupils are interested in lessons they should:
-
Send a generic email to all relevant instrumental tutors
-
Decide which tutor they would like based on the responses they receive
-
Decide with the tutor what day/time they will visit the school along with a start date
-
Liaise with the tutor who will give the school copies of their contact to give to parents
-
Assist parents in contacting the tutor directly, the tutor will also invoice parents directly
