PRIMARY: PROGRESSION ROUTES

To make the very best of your First Access programme, Durham Music Service has created several pathways for progression to choose from that best suit the needs of your pupils.

WHOLE CLASS INSTRUMENTAL TEACHING

Pupils can continue their instrumental learning as a whole class, similar to First Access. Pricing structure as first access tuition.

LARGE GROUP TUITION

Pupils can learn in larger groups funded by the school.

ENRICHMENT PROGRAMMES

Pupils can continue with other musical activities from our enrichment programme including after school music clubs. Click here for more details

SMALL GROUP LESSONS

Pupils can opt for small group lessons where parents are invoiced directly. Instrument hire is available. Many schools support the cost of small group lessons for pupils eligible for Free School Meals or Pupil Premium. Small group pupils can also access a wide range of after school ensembles which are free of charge.

DURHAM MUSIC SERVICE GROUPS

Playing and singing together is one of the best things about learning a musical instrument. Durham Music Service offers a wide range of free-to-access groups across Durham and Darlington for pupils in all instruments and standards.

Having music lessons with Durham Music Service as a child was one of my favourite parts of the week. Lessons helped my confidence grow and is one of the things I’ll always remember about my time at school.
