As of September 2024, parents/carers have a choice of accessing Warwickshire Music Services and a number of independent peripatetic music teachers.

We hope that this will make instrumental and vocal lessons as accessible as possible. Both Warwickshire Music Services and the independent peripatetic music teachers offer individual lessons and group/shared lessons (where student uptake allows group lessons to take place). We would however suggest that parents and carers consider individual lessons, especially when a student is of grade III standard and above.

The Importance Of Musical Instruments In Pupil Development

Playing a musical instrument or learning to sing is great fun and helps children to develop self-discipline and confidence.

Mastering an instrument can enhance educational attainment and creativity and gives children a sense of achievement, it also has positive benefits on their health and wellbeing.

We hope that offering these two services will provide greater choice and opportunities for all students at AVS, and maximise the number of students who access extra-curricular music opportunities.

Graded Examinations

There are various examination boards offering graded examinations for students. They are designed to motivate instrumental and singing students of all ages and a wide range of abilities. Most have 8 grades available, Grades 1 to 8 and provide:

  • Progressive goals to aim for
  • Recognition for achievement
  • Carefully structured syllabus requirements
  • One-to-one assessment by an expert professional
  • An objective guide to a candidate's skills and progress

Should a student decide to enter for a graded examination the cost will be in addition to the cost of lessons in school including the cost of an accompanist.

Instruments & Hire Of Instruments

We do hold a variety of instruments which are available to hire if required (subject to availability and agreement). There are also Drums, Pianos, Stage Pianos and Guitars which are free to use for students taking lessons on these instruments.
