Why should I consider music lessons?

Learning to play a musical instrument has many benefits. In addition to the obvious enjoyment, creativity and sense of achievement, research shows that learning to play can have a positive effect on children’s academic progress generally, enhancing reasoning skills which are essential for maths and science, and improving memory and the ability to learn. Children can also benefit socially, interacting with others as they learn to play as part of a group. Personal qualities of confidence, patience and self-discipline are also fostered, so learning to play a musical instrument can be a very rewarding and positive experience for your child!

Through direct links with Coventry Music as well as more direct contact with your music tutor, Coventry Music will signpost you to out of school music groups, performances and other activity to develop, support and enhance the music provision both in school and through instrumental/vocal lessons. These lessons will usually take place during the school day in either an individual or shared/group lesson.

Lessons will start once direct debits are set up and at least 1 hour of tuition has been agreed for each tutor in school, who will then arrange a day/time to start the lessons.
