Get started Music tuition

Somerset Music offers instrumental and vocal tuition in schools for whole classes (CIL) and individual and small group tuition. We offer a range of instruments and instruments are provided for whole class lessons and for individual and small group tuition where applicable. 

Classroom Instrumental Learning (CIL)

  • Enables whole classes to learn a musical instrument together.
  • Provides the opportunity for school-based staff to learn alongside their class to develop valuable musical skills and increase confidence.
  • It is primarily aimed at Year 4 students although mixed classes and other KS2 year groups can be accommodated.
  • Takes place during the school day and lasts 45  minutes.
  • Puts the ensemble experience at the heart of musical learning.
  • Gives all pupils the opportunity to play a musical instrument.
  • Has a positive impact on student attendance, achievement and self- confidence.

About Individual and group music lessons

As well as being fun, research has shown that learning a musical instrument improves a wide variety of skills such as creative thinking, team working and problem solving and can help children build their confidence and self-esteem.

We offer several options for pupils to continue learning an instrument following classroom instrumental learning. It is also possible for instrumental tuition to be offered more widely to any KS2 pupils. Lessons are delivered at your child’s school or it may be possible to timetable an online lesson if that’s more suitable.
