Our School Orchestra

Our latest addition to our music offer at LCPS is our School Orchestra - open to any child in KS2 who plays an instrument and also open to staff as well! We started this in autumn 2023 and have been so thrilled with the children who've dedicated themselves to making the orchestra a success! We recently had our national debut at our Christmas Concert and were really excited to show what we had achieved! Orchestra rehearsals are on a Monday after school from 3.15 pm until 4.00 pm. If your child in KS2 is interested in joining then please do contact Mr Clark via the school office.

Music Lessons

We offer a wide range of music lessons in school led by external tutors. Children have weekly lessons over the course of a term during the school day. As the children progress in their instruments, there are opportunities for performance and for more formal examination.

Violin

Violin lessons are led by Ms Prue Ward from Cambridgeshire Music. Children can start learning the violin from year 3 onwards. Violin sessions are groups sessions, usually based within a child's year group. The school does lend instruments but it is the responsibility of the child to ensure the instrument is treated with respect and returned to us in good condition.

Brass

Brass lessons are led by Jan Wyndham-Hall from Cambridgeshire Music. Children can start learning a brass instrument from year 3 onwards. Brass sessions are groups sessions, usually based within a child's year group. The school does lend instruments but it is the responsibility of the child to ensure the instrument is treated with respect and returned to us in good condition.

Piano

Piano lessons are led by Jenny Schofield. Usually, children can start learning the piano from year 4 onwards however if we have space we can allow year 3s to take part. Piano sessions are individual sessions. It is important that a child has access to either a piano or keyboard at home. Piano lessons are extremely popular so the school operates a waiting list system. Children are invited to be added to the waiting list at the end of year 3 and then notified when spaces become available. However, we may decide to open the waiting list earlier depending on uptake.

Guitar

Currently Guitar lessons are on hold while we try and find a replacement guitar teacher! Children can start learning the guitar from year 4 onwards. Guitar sessions are groups - either in pairs or within 3s. The school does not supply guitars and so children must have their own guitar to bring to school. Ideally this should be a 3/4 length guitar. Guitar lessons are extremely popular so the school operates a waiting list system. Children are invited to be added to the waiting list at the end of year 3 and then notified when spaces become available. However, we may decide to open the waiting list earlier depending on uptake.

If you are interested in music lessons, please contact the school office or speak to Mr Clark in the mornings.
