Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Yes. Instruments are available to borrow from the school for the first year of instruction, however after this period it may be necessary for your child to have their own instrument and any relevant materials. Details will be given to each child receiving tuition. East Dunbartonshire Council runs a “VAT-FREE” purchase scheme, whereby you can obtain an instrument at the educational discounted price and, in addition, without the need to pay the VAT, saving yourself a substantial amount on the retail price. Further information is available from your child's instrumental instructor or by emailing instrumental.music@eastdunbarton.gov.uk

Arrangements will be made for a slight adjustment in the timetable.

From August 2024 till June 2025, pupils will receive a minimum of 28 lessons unless they are absent or attend a residential music course.

If it is a one – off absence no action will be taken. If it is a long term absence, cover will be provided by the authority.
