Peripatetic Music Lessons
We are delighted to share that Peripatetic instrumental lessons will begin next week. If your child learns an instrument in school, please remind them to bring in their music and/or their instrument in on their usual day. Additionally, there are a couple of spaces on the Drum lesson timetable, so if your child is interested in having lessons on the drum kit, now would be a great time for them to start learning.
