Starter Packs

Has your child shown an interest in music? Do they dream of picking up an instrument but you’re unsure where to begin?  Our Starter Pack scheme makes starting simple, affordable, and inspiring!

We are proud to offer a limited number of subsidised Starter Packs for young learners as part of our ongoing programme for children from our local primary schools (Goring, Streatley, Woodcote, South Stoke, Basildon)

What’s Included?

Each Starter Pack comprises:

  • A suitable instrument (currently trumpet, trombone, clarinet, saxophone, guitar or violin, but do let us know if you are interested in other instruments) loaned for the duration

  • Up to five 30-minute 1:1 lessons with an experienced, DBS-checked teacher

Cost:

Just £30 for five lessons, including instrument loan (there may be a small additional fee if we need to source an instrument not in stock)

Eligibility:
Children must be 8 years old or above and attend one of the participating local primary schools.  If you are interested in learning a brass instrument, they must also have their adult front teeth!  
How it works:
  • Submit your expression of interest using form below

  • We will put you in touch with a teacher to arrange times

  • Once you have agreed times with the teacher, you will need to arrange payment (payment page here) and accept our terms and conditions for tuition and instrument loan

  • The teacher will provide the instrument at the student's first lesson, students may take their instrument home between lessons and 

  • The Trust pays the teacher directly directly.

  • After the trial ends, there’s no obligation to continue, but we’d be delighted to help you explore next steps if your child wishes to carry on learning!

This is a fantastic way to test the waters without a long-term commitment—perfect for curious beginners and families considering musical learning!!!
