Our weekly music classes will resume after the long summer break on Saturday, 12th September, in Anahorish Primary School.
We’re currently offering classes in whistle, flute, fiddle, concertina and accordion (button key) but will also consider putting on classes in other instruments if there’s sufficient interest.
We would ask anyone who would like to sign up for a class, including returning pupils, to fill out the online registration form (link below). The form can also be used to express an interest in an instrument we don’t currently offer classes in. This will help us finalise a timetable which will be communicated to pupils a day or two before classes begin. Classes will be from 10:30-11:15 or 11:15-12:00 and fees can be paid in advance by direct bank transfer or can be paid on the morning of the first class.
All ages (we recommend from P3 upwards) and abilities, including beginners, will be catered for in all of our classes. Pupils will need to have their own instrument(s) although we may have a small number for hire and can advise on where learner instruments can be purchased.
We’re also seeking volunteers to help out with supervision at our classes and would encourage parents in particular to get involved as the viability of our classes depends on our ability to provide adequate safeguarding for the children. The registration form includes a section where you can express your willingness and availability to help out on a regular or ad hoc basis.
The cost of the autumn term is £50 which includes a discounted membership fee of £5 per child. Additional family members will pay £40 (again including membership fee) while the cost of a second class (in a different instrument) will also be £40. Fees may be paid by direct bank transfer, cash, cheque or debit/credit card. Other membership options are:
Family – £18
Senior – £11
2nd senior in household – £7
Junior (not attending classes) – £5.50
The term will run from 12th September until 12th December (inclusive) with a two week mid-term break at Halloween, so no classes on 24th and 31st October.
