Approaching 700 1-1 music lessons take place at Eltham every single week, delivered by our team of 39 instrumental and singing teachers.

Each section is led by its own Head of Section, who is responsible for ensuring that all pupils learn with the most suitable teacher, and also organise their own smaller-scale section concerts. We offer tuition on all instruments (including voice); to apply for lessons, please click here.

These lessons take place in our 23 practice rooms/studios, and so the Music Department is a very busy and active place during the week.
