The majority of students who join PCYM who are already learning an instrument continue having lessons with their current teacher either at schools or privately and we would support this.
If there are no lessons at school or you want to learn an instrument and can’t find a teacher or wish to move your lessons to PCYM, we are able to provide 30min weekly lessons with our tutors (Bursaries are available for those with financial need).
15min lessons may be available for children in school years Reception/Foundation-Year 2.
Lessons are timetabled around teacher availability and whether the child takes part in other PCYM activities.
We are able to organise a trial lesson with our teachers to help in choosing a teacher to have lessons with and/or which instrument to learn (one trial lesson with one teacher is free of charge, additional trial lessons would be charged at our usual lesson fee).
Instrument Loan
If you do not already have an instrument, PCYM works closely with Peterborough Music Hub (PMH), giving us access to instruments which can be loaned to young musicians free of charge for as long as they attend a Peterborough School and have instrumental lessons.
