Music

Our vision for Music at Hounsdown is encapsulated in our department mission statement of "Creative, diverse and engaging, with opportunities for all".

Interested in Instrumental Tuition...

Learning to sing or play a musical instrument can be a valuable and rewarding experience and has been a popular activity at Hounsdown School for many years.  This year, we are offering students lessons in:

  • Brass - Trumpet, Cornet, Euphonium, Trombone, Tuba

  • Woodwind - Flute, Clarinet, Saxophone

  • Percussion - Keyboard, Piano, Drums

  • Strings - Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Bass Guitar, Violin

  • Voice - Singing

The majority of peripatetic music lessons are provided by Hampshire Music Service (HMS).  Instrumental tuition is usually taught as a shared lesson and is dependent on which instruments are being learnt and the learning level of the student.  Individual lessons can now be arranged on request.

Instruments

Students may use their own instruments; however, the school will not be liable for any loss or damage. Hampshire Music Service may be able to provide hire of some instruments, details of which can be found here. There is a termly charge and a contract letter must be signed, together with confirmation that instruments will be covered by home insurance in case of loss, damage or misuse. Minor damage should be paid for by students. There is more information on the Hampshire Music website.

Payments / Financial Support

There are various options available, for example an option to spread the cost of lessons over 3 terms or a discount for early payment in full.  For full details, please contact our Finance department by emailing finance@hounsdown.hants.sch.uk.
