Instrumental Tuition
|
Under the normal Sumner School Programme with private tutor arrangement, the following instruments will be taught: Violin, Singing, Guitar, Drums and Piano. Spaces are limited for some instruments in which case your child may be placed on the teacher’s waiting list. If wishing to learn the piano it is essential your child has daily access to a piano or keyboard. With this programme parents pay the tutors directly, and you will be informed before lessons commence what the cost is and how payment is to be made. Overall, tutors are charging similar hourly rates, but individual charges will vary depending on the length of lessons and whether they are individual, in pairs or groups. You can discuss this with the tutor after making initial contact.
Sumner School is also part of the CSM Outreach Band Programme. This is a fantastic opportunity for our school to grow its music programme and to develop a strong music performance group. From 2015, if your child is continuing with flute, clarinet or saxophone these instruments will now be taught through the CSM Band Programme tutors and your child will be able to join a school concert band if he/she chooses. Please discuss this with the tutor. This means for clarinet, saxophone and violin there will now be a charge for lessons where there was no charge previously. We hope you can see the benefit of the changes as we introduce the comprehensive band programme and endeavour to provide more music opportunities. Further information about the CSM Outreach Band Programme can be found on the Christchurch School of Music website. |
