How Do I Setup Lessons?
If you are a parent interested in your child having lessons within school, please contact your school's Head of Music/Music Co-ordinator and they will be able to assist you. If you are a school interested in arranging lessons for pupils then before contacting Accredited Teachers, please consider the following:
-
Decide which instrument (or voice) you would like to offer pupils in your school
-
We would suggest a minimum tuition period of 1 hour to make it worthwhile for a tutor to come into school. This could be 3 x 20 minute individual/shared lessons or 2 x 30 minute individual/shared lessons. Some tutors will come to school for less time if they are already teaching in a neighbouring school and do not have too far to travel
-
If you don’t have enough interest at present, could you ask the tutor to come into school and give a demonstration to a class or in an assembly to increase awareness/interest? Or, you could ask if they would offer a free taster session to a group of pupils.
-
Once you know how many pupils are interested in lessons you should:
-
Send a generic email to all relevant instrumental tutors to see who would be willing/able to teach at your school
-
Decide which tutor you would like based on the responses they receive
-
Decide with the tutor what day/time they will visit your school along with a start date
-
Liaise with the tutor regarding who will give copies of the Accredited Teacher’s contract to parents
-
Assist parents in contacting the tutor directly. The tutor will also invoice parents directly
If you have any difficulty appointing a tutor, please contact us: info@encore-enterprises.com
