Following on from the Government’s announcement on Saturday 31st October, we can now confirm that ALL lessons will continue online from Thursday 5th November. For Students who under 18 who haven’t previously taken online lessons with us, please follow the link below to complete the consent form.
All students will be contacted by text prior to their lesson with information on how to join online, which for most students, will take place on the usual day and time. This information can also be found below.
Students taking instrumental lessons will need to set up a phone, laptop or device with a camera so that the teacher can see you and your instrument clearly. Please check the video and microphone settings to avoid any delay to the start of the lesson. We also ask that parents are on hand or close by during the lesson.
Alison, Charlotte, Kelly & Nick will contact their students directly to arrange lessons via Skype, Whatsapp or Zoom. For all other teachers, you can join the lesson using the information below.
