We have received the following information from Shropshire Music Service.  If your child currently purchases lessons from Shropshire Music Service please read the information below as to how your child can continue with these lessons online.

Dear Headteacher / Music Lead / Class Teacher / Parent / Carer,

The Music Service has been trialling several options so we can continue to offer music lessons to pupils now that schools are closed for a while. We are in a position to begin these lessons from Monday 20 April.

We think that lessons via ‘Zoom’, an app that can be downloaded by parents and used on our managed devices, will work well for us. While we know this will never be as good as a lesson delivered face to face by a teacher, it is a better option than leaving children without any teaching over the coming weeks and months.

All music service teachers are enhanced DBS checked and receive regular safeguarding training. They have also received guidance on the appropriate use of technology for teaching.

Please read the attached documents and email us with the required information in order to set up online teaching.

Thank you

Shropshire Music Service
