The Music department works hard with both Berkshire Maestros and other individual peripatetic instrumental teachers to be able to offer a range of lessons on both classical and contemporary instruments and voice. Playing an instrument is a life-long skill which improves many aspects of learning, including confidence, concentration, teamwork, coordination and memory, and it has been demonstrated that children and young people who play an instrument outperform, academically, those who don’t!

Here at Sandhurst, we are really keen to support students begin exploring music and what better way than to start to learn an instrument. Depending on uptake, Maestros can offer tuition in the following:

Strings: violin, viola, cello, double bass

Guitar: classical guitar, electric guitar, bass guitar, ukulele

Percussion: drum kit, orchestral percussion

Brass: cornet, trumpet, trombone, French horn, tenor horn, baritone, euphonium, tuba

Woodwind: recorder, flute, oboe, clarinet, saxophone, bassoon

Keyboard: piano

Voice: singing

If your son or daughter is interested in taking up lessons in any of the above, please do not hesitate to check out the Berkshire Maestros website in the first instance to make initial enquiries, and they will be able to provide more information. Alternatively, please contact any of the Music Department staff who will be happy to advise.
