Please email the music teachers directly using the details listed above. We generally recommend Year 2 at the earliest for lessons, though it can depend on your child and their level of maturity, there is not necessarily an advantage in starting earlier, strings are possible from Year 1. With woodwind and brass, Year 3 upwards would be recommended.
Instrumental Hire
Kent Music also offer a reasonable hire scheme, to enable you to loan an instrument initially for the lessons plus local music shops such as Brittens in Tunbridge Wells also offer schemes.
Financial Assistance
Kent Music offer opportunities for financial assistance for lessons and music instrument hire. Financial Assistance can cover up to 75% or £115 per term, including free instrument hire, for both private and Kent Music tuition.
