Music Lessons

Many children at Burrington learn to play a musical instrument under the guidance of teachers from the North Somerset music service.

Lessons are currently available for guitar, violin and viola, brass, cello, voice, oboe, saxophone, flute, clarinet and keyboard.

Letters are sent home termly with information or please see Mrs Hodgkinson if your child would like to learn an instrument. Tuition is available as soon as the music teacher feels the child is ready. Some children in Reception learn violin but sometimes instruments need the children to have all of their second teeth or to have big enough hands. There is a charge for this tuition.

All children in receipt of Pupil Premium may have free music lessons.* Families living in Wrington may apply to the educational charity, Legge's charity for support with costs of lessons. If the cost of lessons is a barrier to a child learning an instrument, please come and talk to us in confidence.

Our young musicians get the opportunity to play in concerts - informal and formal. We have a children's choir and other instrumental tuition is available from time to time including recorders or chime bars. 

Musicians are encouraged to participate in the Rotary Young Musician competition which takes place in the spring.

The school is part of the Churchill cluster of schools and is able to be part of programmes developed by the secondary school at Churchill, which has performing arts status.

Children make musical and dramatic contributions to services at church through the year. The school takes part in concerts and workshops that are arranged by the music service for children of all ages.
