Learning to play an instrument is highly valued at Churchfields Junior School. All children learn an instrument in a whole class lesson. In addition, we provide over 250 individual instrument lessons each week.
The lessons are taken by staff from the Redbridge Music Service, and are during the school day. Your child would share a 20–30 minute lesson with one or two children of similar ability. There is also the option of individual lessons. Tuition is for the full academic year. Over the three school terms your child should receive a minimum of 30 lessons.
Instruments are available for pupils to hire from the Redbridge Music Service. They will inform you when the instrument is ready for collection from the Instrument Centre at the John Savage Centre.
The Instrument Centre also stocks a wide range of accessories and spare parts such as strings, reeds, valve oil, music stands, cases and covers.

Tuition is for the full academic year September 2020 to July 2021. Fees are paid monthly via direct debit. The fee is for tuition only and do not include the cost of hiring an instrument or purchase of music and accessories.
