One-to-one Music Lessons
At Hockerill, we are fortunate to have an exceptional team of visiting instrumental and vocal teachers who deliver high-quality lessons each week. These peripatetic staff are not only experienced educators but also active professional musicians, many of whom regularly perform with leading ensembles such as the London Symphony Orchestra, BBC Orchestras, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, and artists including Jamie Cullum and the Strictly Come Dancing bands.
Our music provision offers opportunities that are rarely found in the state sector, and we are proud to be able to support students at all levels in their musical development.
When you apply for lessons, you are welcome to request a specific teacher. If no preference is indicated, we will match you with the most suitable teacher based on the information you provide.
Having one-to-one music lessons is a fantastic opportunity for students to learn to play an instrument and be a part of the vibrant Hockerill Music community.
