Music Tuition at Worle Village

Worle Village wholeheartedly supports any child who wishes to learn a musical instrument, firmly believing that this will help to develop their general listening skills, co-ordination and motor control, self-confidence, personal responsibility and social interaction as well as their general enjoyment of music. We actively encourage students to become involved in music.

From the Autumn Term (September 25), we will be handing over the invoicing of your child’s music lessons directly to the West of England Music Alliance (WEMA).  This means that WEMA will now be your direct contact regarding invoices.

They will also inform you if they need to reschedule a lesson for whatever reason and keep you up to date with your son/daughter’s progress. Any questions or issues you may have with regards to your son/daughter’s lessons will be addressed directly with the WEMA or the tutor. We of course will still be on hand to support both the instrumental teachers and you, especially in the first couple of terms whilst we all get used to the new system.

Important Information

• Lessons: There will be 30 lessons per academic year usually 10 lessons per two terms. The lesson will last 30 or 20 minutes. This depends on the total number of students per teacher.
• Group Size: Lessons will be delivered either as an individual, a pair or in a group (up to four) – assuming that there are enough students wishing to learn the same instrument at the same level.
• Invoices: Invoices will be issued directly by the West of England Music Alliance.
• Timetabling: Times will be posted on the music notice board or in the school and it is students’ responsibility to check these times and to politely excuse themselves from school lessons to attend. Timetables will also be available to view on the portal to which you will have parental access.
• Terms and Conditions: For Music Hub tuition these can be seen at https://wema.org.uk/policy/terms-and-conditions-for-parent-carers/

Instruments

Instruments are not provided by the school, and students are expecting to have their own instrument for lessons. However, there is a wide range of instruments that can be hired from WEMA; you can add this to your application for a cost of £40 per term or if you have a query, please contact them directly at music@wema.org.uk

Choir

We also have a very active Choir, open to children in Years 1 - 6 which participates in local events with Weston Choral Society and Highbridge Festival, as well as performances at our own events such as the Summer and Christmas Fayres.
