Whole Class Ensemble Tuition

Whole Class Ensemble Tuition transforms music education by giving entire classes the opportunity to learn musical instruments together. Whether students are learning recorders, clarinets, trumpets, ukuleles, guitars, or violins, this program launches them on an exciting musical journey. Every child participates, typically learning simultaneously as a class or in smaller groups, with the goal of reaching all students by the end of Key Stage 2.

The government's National Plan for Music Education (2022) emphasizes the importance of instrumental learning for all young people. This program:

• Removes common barriers to music education including cost, transportation, and scheduling conflicts
• Makes instrumental learning accessible to every student regardless of background
• Helps discover hidden musical talents and interests
• Integrates seamlessly into the school day
• Creates a foundation for further musical development

Your school may already have qualified staff who can lead these sessions, including:

• Music subject leaders
• Class teachers
• PPA teachers
• Teaching assistants

Many schools find success using curriculum resources with built-in instrumental programs like Charanga or Kapow.

For specialised instruction, consider partnering with quality-assured providers from Swindon Music Service. You can structure the program for a single year group or integrate it across multiple years, allowing students to either master one instrument or experience several.  (Link to SMS Website)
