Music Tuition

The music department is at the heart of The Trinity school. We run a full range of musical ensembles and the department boasts a large classroom with 16 computers. In addition to this, we have three purpose built practice rooms for peripatetic instrumental tuition given by visiting staff from Essex Music Hub. The Hub provide a range of services from tuition in school to county Youth Orchestras to preparing students for ABRSM or Rock School examinations.

Instrumental and vocal tuition is available to all students from beginners to experienced players. Instrumental and vocal lessons are booked and paid for a term in advance.
