Pupils will be loaned an instrument whenever possible through their school. However in due course it is hoped that parents may buy an instrument for the child through the assisted purchase scheme. This can be done through the Music Support Service or child’s school.
Instruments can be bought at a substantial discount (usually around 25 per cent and also excluding VAT}. This offer is only available if the child is receiving instrumental lessons in school time and that tuition is provided by a Music Support Service teacher. The instrument must then be used in school during lessons. (Exclusions are drum kits and piano /keyboards).
Parents who are interested should discuss this with the instrumental teacher in the first instance then further arrangements can be made through the Music Support Service office on 01724 854926.
