Music

At Bentfield we believe that music is an essential part of the curriculum. In addition to music being taught in lessons and extra curricular music clubs, we also offer the opportunity for children in key stage 2 (years 3 to 6) to have private tuition in the following instruments:

• Clarinet
• Saxaphone
• Flute
• Brass (Trumpet, Horn etc)
• Guitar
• Piano or Keyboard

Each term consists of 10 individual lessons (of 15 minutes per week) taught by Essex County Council peripatetic music teachers. Longer lessons are available if desired.

Instruments can be hired from Essex County Council or you can hire on a lease-buy arrangement from most reputable music shops:
