Music activities for home-schooled children

What we do

We offer ensemble teaching for home-schooled children at the Centre for Music on Wednesdays.

Home School Band

This group gives children the opportunity to play and develop their instrumental skills in an ensemble environment. The group is open to players of any instruments, including classical, rock and percussion, from a beginner level.

Music is specially arranged for the specific instruments and abilities in the group, to enable students to learn pieces at their own level and pace, in addition to working towards end of term performance opportunities.

The emphasis is on having fun and learning together - we look forward to welcoming your child along!
