Instrumental Tuition

Learning to play a musical instrument can enhance verbal memory, spatial reasoning and improve literacy skills.

The Music department is very keen to give every student the opportunity to fully experience what the subject can offer.

Learning an instrument or singing, at any level, is great fun and hugely rewarding, and we have a number of instrumental lessons that your child can be involved in. The skills that a student develops through learning an instrument support their learning across the whole school and help to make them a better learner through relieving stress, developing cognitive ability, improving levels of patience and building confidence.

At present, we employ a team of excellent teachers who teach a wide range of instruments. These instruments include:

• Drum Kit
• Electric Guitar
• Bass Guitar
• Keyboard
• Piano

If your child is interested in receiving music lessons at The Bolsover School, whether this be continuing to learn an instrument they started to learn at primary school or by learning a new instrument entirely, then please email Mr Stacey at r.stacey@thebolsoverschool.org.uk or ask your child to see Mr Stacey in school.

Instrumental lessons can be either individual or shared with a friend, with the cost being approximately £6 for 20 minutes' tuition per week, which then rises to £10 after 6 weeks. Other subsidies are also available to reduce the cost of lessons – please email Mr Stacey for more information.
