Lessons in School

Most schools in Cumbria offer a variety of opportunities to learn an instrument. One of our Core Roles is to ensure that every child aged five to 18 has the opportunity to learn a musical instrument through whole-class ensemble teaching programmes:


First Access: is the whole class teaching programme through which all children should have their first experience of the enjoyment and reward of learning an instrument free of charge. 


Instrumental and vocal lessons: Most schools offer lessons in various instruments with visiting specialist music teachers. These lessons are usually in small groups. Speak to your school to find out which instruments they offer, how much they charge and who the teachers are.

every young person should be able to experience music and have the opportunity to learn a musical instrument. This experience can build confidence and self-esteem and also helps raise the aspirations of what children and young people can achieve in all areas of their life.
