PLEASE NOTE: 
Children are only permitted to receive private lessons for ONE instrument in class curriculum lesson time. Tuition for a second instrument 
may be received, but ONLY if the lesson for that instrument is before/after school or during lunchtime. 

If you would like your child to receive tuition for a second instrument within the school premises, it is your responsibility, when applying for lessons, to inform the new teacher that your child is only able to receive tuition before/after school or during break, lunch or assemblies..

Please bear in mind that some peripatetic staff will not be able to accommodate this within their own timetable, therefore, tuition for a second instrument may not be possible within school. If this is the case, it would be worth seeking private tuition out of school time, either at your own home, at the teacher's home, or at a music centre. 

​Please contact Miss Rusbatch if you would like the contact details for private tutors who are not associated with Downs Junior School.

In September 2016, Tom came into school to lead an assembly about learning guitar. He brought along a special guest - Isaac Sydenham - who had started learning guitar with Tom at Downs Junior School in 2004. Isaac now plays in Tom's band and teaches guitar
