Tuition in schools

Specialist instrumental lessons in schools form the backbone of the EMS provision. These are available to any grant-aided school in the borough and can be arranged in the first instance by contacting the team.

Points to bear in mind

lessons are half-hourly for up to four pupils
10 lessons are provided per term
most lessons will take place during term time
a minimum time of two consecutive hours per tutor will be required

The EMS schools handbook (pdf) contains detailed information on setting up specialist lessons.
