Music Lessons

At Fakenham Academy, we are proud to have a lively and developing music department with many students participating in lessons with specialist instrumental teachers. Should your child be interested please do not hesitate to contact Miss Adams (Subject Leader Music)  K.Adams@Fakenhamacedmy.org 

Cost of lessons

The current cost of lessons is £75 per term and this is paid on receipt of an invoice. This entitles your son/daughter to 11 x 30 minute lessons over 1 term. For those in receipt of additional benefits please contact the school for more information on how we can support you.  

Exam fees

If your child chooses to take a graded music exam, then you will be required to pay these fees and support and encourage your child’s practice.  

Instruments

If tuition for an instrument is oversubscribed, you will receive a letter informing you that your child will be placed onto a waiting list. If there is enough demand for an instrument that we don’t currently offer lessons in, we may also be able to arrange this. In school, we have access to a range of instruments that your child could borrow to study, so please do contact us if you would like to discuss this further. You may also be required to buy strings or reeds and music books for your child to play from.  

Practise

In order to succeed at an instrument, it is vital that your child practises regularly (about 20 minutes, three times a week is a good guideline) and we very much value your encouragement and support in this area.  

Ensembles 

Every child who learns an instrument will be expected to join an appropriate ensemble when they reach the required standard.
