Music tuition in schools

Instrumental music tuition is offered to pupils from P4 onwards, depending on the instrument, the pupil's ability (as determined by the Instrumental Music Teacher (IMT)) and the number of places available.

Tuition is provided via schools, by visiting IMTs, as part of the Instrumental Music Service (IMS).

If your child has been selected for tuition, please note the following:

• Pupils will be encouraged to participate in school ensembles, bands and performances 
• When pupils reach an appropriate standard, they may also be invited to join a South Lanarkshire Orchestral Society ensemble.
