MUSIC PROVISION FOR PRIMARY 3

20 February 2020

We have three spaces that have become available for pupils in Primary 3 to learn to play the violin or viola with our Strings music tutor Mr McCubbin. This would be a short music lesson every Monday morning with our music tutor.

Mr McCubbin will carry out simple music tests to determine children’s suitability for various instruments.  If more than three pupils in Primary 3 expresses an interest in learning the violin or viola the music tutor will select pupils based on their performance in the simple music test.

Music costs for the hire of instruments and tuition will be applied at Board approved rates. Over the last number of years’ tuition fees, which include weekly lessons, have been approximately £190 for the school year.  As your pupil would only be starting to play the instrument mid-year this cost would be reduced to only include the lessons from the end of February until June, we anticipate that it would be approximately £95. This cost does not include the hire of equipment which is normally between £35.00 - £50.00

If you would like your child to be considered for music tuition, please return the reply slip as soon as possible.
