Wednesday Music School
Building on the success of our Saturday Music School, we launched Wednesday Music School in September 2009. Lessons take place on Wednesday evenings at Wandle Valley School with tuition currently offered on flute, clarinet, violin and cello. These lessons are most appropriate for beginners, pupils who have participated in a Whole Class Instrumental Tuition (WCIT) programme at their school, or Year 6 pupils moving on to schools where their chosen instrument is not currently offered. The cost of lessons is £50 per term. All pupils are required to join a borough ensemble after a period of two terms' tuition. Please complete an application form if you would like to be considered for a place at Wednesday Music School.

Saturday Music School
Saturday Music School was established in 1999, with funds from what was then the Department for Education and Skills, and opened it's doors to students in January 2000. Based at Wandle Valley School, the music school takes place on Saturday mornings and provides lessons on viola, double bass, oboe, bassoon, french horn, trombone, euphonium, tuba and percussion. There is also a Percussion Ensemble which is open to pupils who are having lessons on percussion or drums elsewhere. The highly subsidised cost of £35 per term also incorporates theory and aural tuition as well as instrument hire where necessary. All pupils are required to join a borough ensemble after a period of two terms' tuition.
