You are never too old to learn to play, but children in KS1 are generally too young for most instruments
Usually, lessons take place during the school day
Beginner players play in groups of two or three pupils but you can pay more for an individual lesson
Costs are £6.99 per week (for a group lesson)
Need help with the cost of lessons? If you are in circumstances of hardship, the Assisted Tuition Scheme might be able to help
Come into the school office and speak to us, we'll be able to advise on when your child will be able to start
School take responsibility for the collection of lesson fees and will let you know about payment arrangements
You don't need to buy an instrument, Wigan Music Service have a hire scheme
