Dear Parents/Carers,

Changes to our peripatetic music provision at the Martin High School

I am writing to inform you of the exciting changes to our peripatetic music provision from the beginning of the new academic year in 2017.

We are incredibly pleased to announce that we will now be working closely with Soar Valley Music Centre (SVMC), and that as such, all peripatetic lessons will now be provided by SVMC from September 2017. This is a result of our continued drive to develop and expand our music provision at the Martin High School.

As well as the instrument your child is currently learning, we will now be able to offer a huge variety of other instruments as well: from double-bass to orchestral percussion; from oboe to french-horn. Please see the extensive list below:

If your child has been taught by a peripatetic teacher at the Martin High School this year, they will have personally informed you as to whether or not they will be continuing to provide lessons next year through SVMC’s provision. If they are - and you wish your son / daughter to continue to receive these lessons next year - there will be opportunities to re-enrol early on in September; the music lessons will still be held at the Martin High School – with the only difference for yourself being that you will pay for these lessons through SVMC, as opposed to the Martin High School.

If your child’s current peripatetic teacher will no longer provide lessons next year, your child will of course still have the opportunity to re-enrol with their chosen instrument (or indeed, a brand-new instrument of their choosing), provided by one of the many-talented peripatetic musicians from Soar Valley Music.

There will be more detailed information regarding these lessons in September 2017. In the meantime, please do visit SVMC’s website at:

Yours faithfully,

Mr D Thomas
