Please read the information below carefully
I am delighted to be able to offer your child the opportunity to learn an instrument at Bexley Grammar School. ​Listed below are the tutors currently teaching at BGS. 

Mrs Ballard – Violin; Mrs Lockhart-Knight - Flute;
Mr Cooper – Clarinet, Saxophone, Singing, Piano; Mrs Holmes - Singing 
Mr Crocker– Trumpet, Trombone, Euphonium, French horn ; Mrs Cliburn – Piano, Music Theory ;  
Mr Andrew – Piano ; Mr Jones – Acoustic & Electric Guitar ; Mr Ross – Acoustic, Electric, Bass guitar ; 
Mr Pack – Drums & Percussion; Future DJs - DJ and Decks lessons
​

All of our teachers are DBS checked and used to working with young people in a friendly, safe and creative environment.
 
25 minutes lessons are available on an individual weekly basis (the cost will be £155 per term for 10 lessons), or an individual lesson every other week, at £77.50 per term.  Our experience is that lessons every other week mean that progress is very slow indeed, and students often give up. If you can afford it, a lesson once a week will pay far more dividends; your child is able to get into a routine and remember to attend a lesson every week, is likely to practice more regularly, and far more progress is made.  If your child is more advanced than Grade 1, then I would strongly recommend a weekly lesson.

An invoice will be issued in the first lesson of the term. This should be paid within two weeks otherwise the teacher may stop your child’s lessons until payment is received. Please do not send payment prior to receiving the invoice.
Lessons will be allocated on a first come, first served basis, and returning this form after this deadline means that we are not able to guarantee you lessons for the Autumn term.
 
As is the case in all schools, music lessons take place throughout the school day during lesson time.  Please note: times for lessons for students in Years 7 are rotated so that your child does not miss the same lesson too frequently. A fixed lesson time at break or lunch is not possible, as these slots must be kept for exam students in years 10-13. The instrumental teachers are very understanding about the nature of schools and that it is not always possible to attend a lesson because of trips/exams. If the teacher knows about this in advance, they can reschedule the lesson. Obviously, if your child misses a lesson without informing the teacher, there is very little they can do to reimburse you.
 
May I remind you that the notice required for discontinuation of lessons is half a term and that this must be done in writing, otherwise half a term’s fees will be due in lieu of notice.
As part of the development of their musicianship, students are expected to take part in curriculum extension activities. At Bexley we offer a broad range of activities from string and symphony orchestras and choirs to jazz and rock bands, so do get involved!
