Instrumental lessons at CHS

The music department aims to:

• Provide opportunities for the students to receive instrumental lessons if they wish to do so.
• Ensure that lessons are carried out in a way that promotes and benefits the expansion of the student’s musical learning.
• Provide a clear framework for the peripatetic teachers to maximise the student’s musical learning
• Provide clear information for parents (guardian) about the way that instrumental lessons are carried out at the school.
