Music Tuition at Perins 2025/26

At Perins School, we offer your child a wide range of music tuition, including string, woodwind, brass, keyboard/piano, voice, guitar, and drums. We are very proud of the quality and diversity of lessons we provide.

Lessons last for a minimum of 20 minutes during the school day and are shared with a maximum of three other students from any year group. Pupils will come out of subject lessons to attend their music tuition, which will operate on a rotating timetable to minimise students repeatedly missing the same lesson where possible.

Charges for music tuition are shown below. Please find attached the full terms and conditions.

2025/26 Music Tuition Fees:

£330 per instrument per academic year
Payable in advance

We appreciate that this is a significant sum to request so far in advance of the new academic year, but Perins is contracted to pay the music tutors for the full year once they have been booked. Unfortunately, we are unable to obtain any refund from Hampshire Music Service. This means that, in turn, we are unable to offer refunds if a student decides to stop their lessons during the year unless we are able to transfer the slot to another student. However, we will offer an alternative instrument (subject to the availability of suitable lesson slots) if a student decides they would prefer to try something different.

Please note that Hampshire Music Service has had to increase their fees this year to cover rising operational costs, which we, in turn, need to pass on to parents.

In exceptional circumstances, an alternative payment plan may be considered, but please note that you will still be committed to the full annual cost.

To confirm your child’s interest in starting or continuing music lessons at Perins School, please complete this online form, by 9 am on Tuesday, 6th May 2025. Payment will then be due by 9 am on Monday, 2nd June 2025.

A limited number of places will be available, but we will try our best to accommodate your child. We aim to notify you via email before the end of the Summer Term regarding whether your child has been allocated a music tuition place or placed on a waiting list. If your child is placed on the waiting list, we will refund your payment. Any enquiries after this date will be added to the waiting list, and you will be contacted when a space becomes available.

If you have any queries, please email financeteam@perins.hants.sch.uk.

Yours sincerely,

Perins School
