Whole Class Instrumental Tuition (WCIT) & Booking Information

WCIT or Whole Class Ensemble Tuition (WCET) involves weekly, 45 minute lessons being delivered to your whole class, so that all pupils in the class learn at the same time. Lessons take place in the classroom, led by our fully trained and DBS checked Leicestershire Music staff.

Lessons can be booked for 1,2 or 3* terms. We recommend 3 terms, to ensure that students are able to form a strong bond with music to help enthuse and inspire them to take their music making further. We aim to deliver a minimum of 10 sessions per term.

We offer a variety of instruments - subject to availability. (One instrument option per booking). A class set of instruments is included in the price and pupils can take these home to practice on - except Steel Pans & Taiko due to their size.

Pupils can receive WCIT for the first academic year (AKA First Access) and then move onto Progression, which follows the same format as WCIT but allows pupils to continue their learning journey and progress even further.

Live Music Performance Opportunity for your School

Alexander, a violinist who lives in Leicestershire, often visits schools to give young people the opportunity to listen to live music. Alexander, plays the violin to a high standard, and has had to overcome many barriers that have been presented to him on his musical journey. Alexander has some learning differences and is a wonderful role model to all our children and young people in Leicester and Leicestershire.

If you would like a performance from Alexander please do get in touch with sarah.share@leics.gov.uk who will be able to put you in contact with Alexander and his mum, Ann

I just wanted to say thank you for putting me in touch with Alexander and his mum. He came in yesterday and played for the whole school for about 20 minutes in assembly. He was inspirational playing with no music and moving to the music whilst playing. The children were in awe, and it did wonders for their appreciation of diversity and acceptance of others as well as hearing live music. I would highly recommend it to other schools.
