Welcome to Spring Term music lessons:

Drum lessons will take place on a Monday, starting on 17th January.

Guitar and violin lessons will be starting this week, 10th Janaury, and will take place on a Wednesday.

Woodwind lessons will take place on a Thursday.  

There are due to be 10 lessons spread over the term. These will be spaced throughout the term. 

Please make sure that your child brings their instrument into school on the correct day. Unfortunately, music instruments cannot be shared as some have been damaged in the past. 

I am looking forward to a great term of music lessons.

Thank you

Mrs H Latter

We're off ...

Music lessons are starting this week: 27th September 2021.

Drum lessons will be on Mondays in the HIP Intervention room (next to Mrs K's room).

Flute lessons will be on Mondays in the HIP Intervention room (next to Mrs K's room).

Guitar lessons will be on Wednesdays in Mr Robinson's office (next to the library)

Violin lessons will be on Wednesdays in the HIP Intervention room (next to Mrs K's room).

Please make sure your child brings their instrument into school on the correct day for their lesson, as instruments cannot be shared. 

Instruments can be put at the back of the class until the lesson time, and then taken to the lesson when the pupil attends. 

If a child is absent on the day of their lesson, that lesson will not be re-imbursed. If the teacher is absent, the lesson will be re-arranged. 

Most lessons will take place at some time during lunchtime. 

If possible, it would be easier for your child if they had a packed lunch on the day of their lesson. If they need a school dinner, there will be time for them to get one. 

If you have missed music lessons this term, there will be more information available in November and you can apply for lessons for Spring Term. Please keep an eye on the website as closing dates are strictly applied due to booking musicians. 

Any questions, please email me: hlatter@pelham.bexley.sch.uk

or call the school office. 

I am looking forward to a very satisfying period of music lessons with our excellent music teachers. 

Welcome to another year of Music lessons in 2021-2022

We will be starting music lessons during the week commencing 27th September, 2021.

If you are interested in your child having music lessons with a professional musician, please complete the form and return it to me by Wednesday 15th September. 

Payment needs to be made by Wednesday 22nd September to ensure your slot. 

Any questions, please contact me: Hlatter@pelham.bexley.sch.uk

We have come to the end of guitar and drumming music lessons for this year. 

Over the year, pupils are given 25 weeks of lessons. 

I hope your child has enjoyed the opportunity of learning a musical instrument and is looking forward to continuing this, next academic year. 

Congratulations to Year 3 for an exhilarating concert on Thursday afternoon. 

3P started the concert with a 15 minute drumming spectacular. Every child had their moment to shine when they played a solo piece. They all took part with focus and thought. 

3N followed this with a mix of choral drumming, interspersed with songs and special focal parts.

Our thanks to Mr Fabricio Azevido who has, once again, motivated and inspired our pupils. 

Thank you for a great concert Year 3.
