Music Lessons

Victoria Loram, our woodwind teacher, is in school once a week.

Victoria has been teaching for 30 years and has experience of teaching all ages and abilities. In lessons Victoria introduces pupils to different styles of music and likes to include pupils’ choices too. As well as instrumental technique the learning covers reading music, music theory, listening skills and general musicianship. The pace of the lessons is geared to the pupil’s individual needs and pupils can take exams and enter local music festivals if they wish but there is no pressure to do so.
