Music at South Grove 

Learn an Instrument!

At South Grove Primary, we want all of our students to have the chance to learn a musical instrument. Currently, students learn the recorder in Year 2 and the ukulele in Year 4, with free music clubs available for guitar, keyboard, drumming and singing.

For more in-depth music education, Waltham Forest Music Hub (WFMH) offers instrumental lessons during school hours. These lessons are available at a termly cost to parents/carers.

The instruments taught include:

  • Strings: violin, viola, cello, double bass
  • Woodwind: clarinet, flute, oboe, saxophone, recorder
  • Brass: cornet, trumpet, trombone, euphonium, French horn
  • Guitar: acoustic, electric, bass
  • Drum kit
  • Piano and keyboard

Lessons run for 35 weeks a year:

  • Autumn Term: 12 weeks
  • Spring Term: 11 weeks
  • Summer Term: 12 weeks

Lesson costs (per student) are:

  • 10 minutes: £8.52/week
  • 15 minutes: £12.78/week
  • 20 minutes: £17.03/week
  • 30 minutes:£25.55/week

Term Costs:

  • Autumn (12 weeks): £102.20 - £306.60
  • Spring (11 weeks): £93.68 - £281.05
  • Summer (12 weeks): £102.20 - £306.60
  • Full Year (35 weeks): £298.08 - £894.25

Reduced fees of up to 50% are available for children eligible for Pupil Premium.

Lessons can be individual, in pairs, or in small groups (up to 6 for some instruments), making them more enjoyable and affordable.

WFMH offers instrument leases for a termly fee of £27 (£14 for low-income families) for most instruments except keyboards and drum kits, but they can recommend affordable options for these.
