Musitrax: Whole Class Ensemble Tuition
(primary schools) Bespoke quotes available Currently delivered in 25 primary schools, our Musitrax programme comprises weekly whole-class tuition delivered by visiting music specialists. The Musitrax Curriculum initially aims to develop foundation skills though singing activities based on the Kodaly teaching method. In subsequent years, pupils further their musicianship by learning to play an instrument within a whole-class ensemble and in some cases through music technology and songwriting. To discuss support for your school contact Zoe Ansah: zansah@lambeth.gov.uk |
Peripatetic Teaching
(primary and secondary schools) Hourly rates Our professional music tutors visit schools on a weekly basis to deliver individual/small-group music lessons. Students develop key musical skills through a variety of activities that support technical and theoretical understanding. Our tutor team embraces a variety of instruments, styles, cultures and approaches, and many maintain active links with the industry. LMS tutors are encouraged to work in collaboration with schools to support curriculum work, ensembles and events. To discuss support for your school contact Alistair Walker: awalker@lambeth.gov.uk |
