More about our Lessons...
-
Lessons take place on a rotating timetable so that students miss a different part of the day each week. 6th formers can arrange for their lesson to be in free time or during breaks. Musicscool email the timetable at the beginning of each term to the school, parents and the students themselves (if permission is given.)
-
The school encourage music lessons during school time as they understand the huge benefit that music can bring to a student's well-being and personal development.
-
Once enrolled, lessons continue from term to term, year to year unless parents give notice to stop, so there is no need to re-apply at the start of the academic year.
-
INSPIRE-INVEST! Musicscool gives 5% of the cost of every single lesson taken during the school week directly back to the music department for them to spend on increasing music opportunities, equipment or resources to make music at the Windsor Schools even better!
