New ScalesAndTales Rockschool in April 2020

We are opening our new ScalesAndTales Rockschool at Long Ditton St Marys in April 2020.

ScalesAndTales Rock School offers pupils from years 3 to 6 the opportunity to perform on percussion, vocals, keyboard and  electric and bass guitar in a rock/pop band setting. Every term pupils will work together in their rock/pop group on a set rock/pop piece which will incorporate guitar riffs, keyboard melodies and chords, vocal melody lines and harmonies and different drum patterns. At the end of the term each group will perform in a free concert for all pupils, families and friends. 

Lessons will also incorporate fun games and exercises and  a three level program where children can choose what riff, pattern, harmony, chord progression they would like to learn, ranging from easy to more tricky pieces. This is a great way for the children to advance in their instrument and see a progression in their playing. Children will have the opportunity to play by ear but also understand the names of the notes they are playing. 

At ScalesAndTales Rock School we realise every child learns differently so we incorporate notation, symbols and music by ear to each individual prefernce.

We offer a free taster session for all children as we feel it is important for the pupil to give some thing a go without having to pay a terms fee immediately.

If the pupil enjoys the taster session, then we can look into booking a terms rock school lessons.

Each session is for 30 minutes and every child has an opportunity to pick their own instrument before the term starts. If pupils would like to change their instrument please let the teacher know before the next term starts and we can certainly change this for the next term.

Fees

£120 per child for ten sessions per term. Each session is for 30 minutes with a free concert ever term. We offer a sibling discount.

Contracts are for the term. If pupils would like to terminate their contract they will need to give ScalesAndTales half a terms notice.

Fees can be paid termly or half termly. If you would prefer to pay by standing order every month we can also provide this service. 

Session Venues

Currently at LDSM on a Friday afternoon from 1pm until 3pm in the music room. Times of lessons will be rotated every week.
