Music Tuition
at John Taylor Free School
Music Tuition
Students at John Taylor Free School can take part in instrumental and vocal music tuition as part of their wider school experience. We work in partnership with Entrust Music Service Staffordshire to offer lessons across a range of instruments, including woodwind, brass, percussion and strings.
Learning an instrument or developing vocal skills can build confidence, creativity and a lifelong enjoyment of music, while also supporting wider learning across the curriculum. Students also have opportunities to develop their skills further through performances and ensembles.
Lessons and Arrangements
Music lessons take place during the school day for 32 weeks of the year. Lessons typically last 20 minutes and usually take place in small groups of up to three students. Individual lessons may also be available, depending on demand.
Students taking part in lessons can benefit from the free loan of an instrument, as well as opportunities to join school ensembles and take part in music centre events held at John Taylor Free School.
Costs and Financial Support
Music tuition at John Taylor Free School offers a cost‑effective alternative to private lessons, with high‑quality teaching and instrument hire included.
We aim to make music tuition accessible to all students. Reduced rates are available for students eligible for free school meals or studying GCSE Music.
Additional financial support may be available through the Friends of Staffordshire’s Young Musicians (FOSYM), who provide funding to help young people access and continue music tuition.
Apply for Music Lessons
