The activity

Music Lessons, explained

Music lessons teach an instrument step by step: reading notation, keeping a steady rhythm, building good practice habits and, over time, playing for others. Music theory sits alongside the playing, so children understand what they are reading rather than copying by ear. Lessons are often one-to-one or in small groups, with the teacher setting the pace for each child. Ballet builds posture, balance, flexibility, coordination and musicality through barre work, centre exercises and short routines, and many children grow in confidence from performing. The right starting age depends on the instrument or class and on the child, so ask which class suits your child's age and level.

Who it's for

Children from age 5 for piano, guitar and drums: 30-minute classes for ages 5 to 6 and 45-minute classes for ages 7 and up. Ballet classes are aimed at children; ask which ballet level suits your child's age. Every music student has a free assessment first.

What to expect

New music students start with a free assessment, so the teacher can see where your child is and place them at the right level. Lessons then run for 30 minutes for ages 5 to 6 and 45 minutes from age 7, with a specialist teacher for each instrument and ongoing checks on progress. Theory is part of the teaching, so children learn to read music and understand rhythm as well as play. Ballet classes are capped at 10 students and taught by RAD-qualified teachers. Ask the school about fees, class times, what to bring and what to wear for ballet.
