Bands, Orchestras and Theory Groups

Starter Groups start in September each year. 

Group lessons are a great way of introducing students to learning a musical instrument.

Our STARter Groups are a wonderful way of getting into the Trumpet, Clarinet, Cello, Trombone or Violin. 

Members of the KMS STARter Groups are all beginners. They learn together, sing together and have fun together. Groups start in September and finish in July with a Concert for parents. STARter Groups cost £85 per term of 10 sessions. As a STARter Group member you get 50% off instrument hire! 

If you are concerned about the cost of instrument hire and are in receipt of benefits which entitle your child to Free School Meals, then please email musicservice@kingston.gov.uk

To register for one of our STARter Groups, visit our registration pages. To register, choose the correct venue/day in "Find a Music Centre" then choose Starter Groups for "Choose a Course" below.

Groups with more than 8 members will be 45mins long, groups with less than 8 memebers will be 30mins long.
STARter Groups have a minimum sign up required to start. If this is not met, the class may start later than September or not at all.
