7-12 Years Old
The pre-teen years are a great time for children to focus on music, the benefits of which are proven to improve achievement, not only in the arts, but in all other school subjects. As well as private lessons, VSOSoM group classes and ensembles offer a supportive environment in which to make friends, express yourself and learn about working as a team. There are many performance opportunities at our school, which encourage confidence in young musicians.
