Learning to play an instrument or to sing is a hugely rewarding thing to do and can give years of enjoyment. We offer a variety of music tuition at South Wonston School with various concerts and performances taking place throughout the academic year.

Lessons are taught during the school day as a small group or, if requested and accommodated, can be taught on a 1:1 basis. Lessons are either taught in the Church area of the school or in the Shared Social Room (SSA - opposite the school office).
