Kent Music School

read moreKent Music has an excellent reputation for providing county level music making. Our County Groups work with experienced professional tutors and conductors to develop their skills and perform at concerts throughout the year. If you're not sure which group to join, or you would like more information about try-out days or auditions, please get in touch. Our Junior Choirs for 8 - 14 year olds are the perfect opportunity and introduction for young singers to develop voices and enjoy singing as a group.

Agency Projects are set up by a nursery, school, academy, college or other learning centre requiring a specialist teacher for their music delivery. These projects can include individual or small group lessons; whole class teaching; leading ensembles and choirs; and continuation lessons for students who have completed their Music Plus year. Agency Projects can also be a useful option for an alternative to PPA cover which not only ensures that students are supervised but gives them something creative to do at the same time.

Our Area Managers are equipped with information about local teachers, instruments, funding and resources to support classroom teachers and music coordinators. Any schools in the county can contact Kent Music when they want a peripatetic teacher to provide them with tuition. This tuition will be registered through Kent Music and the tuition will be paid for by parents, directly to Kent Music.
