On this basis, we are proud to offer a music lesson service (instrument and voice) as an addition to our core educational provision. For a number of years we have successfully worked in partnership with Solihull Music Service, which provides music lessons at Alderbrook for our students in a wide range of instruments and voice. We will make every effort to accommodate your child’s choice of instrument. Thirty-three lessons take place over the 3 school terms. Generally, more are provided in the Autumn due to the longer term. Students receive 20-minute individual lessons which take place during the school day and students are expected to make up any academic school work missed. A timetable is organised on a rota basis to ensure students do not miss the same academic lesson each week. However, please be aware that this is subject to demand for that particular instrument as the rota option is not always the case. A 6 week term timetable is posted on the Music Board just outside Malley Staff Room and in Mrs Rafferty’s Room A01 but we will also ensure that each student has their own copy together with a Music Card to assist them in being excused from their academic class. At this time we have no idea what day or time the music lessons will occur as this is based on “supply and demand” through Solihull Music Service. The annual cost for the year is £405.00. This is payable in advance termly as follows: £159.50 payable by personal cheque with the attached completed Consent Form by 21 June 2019, with the following payments via Parentpay; £122.75 by 8 November 2019 and the balance of £122.75 by 2 March 2020. Please return the attached Parental Consent Form with Terms & Conditions (marked for the attention of Mrs Featherstone, behind Main Reception) together with your initial cheque as soon as possible. Yours faithfully Dr J Smith Headteacher Encls: Parental and Student Consent Form with Terms & Conditions .
