Every Saturday morning at the Chase Lane Primary School, during term time, a music school is run by Harwich Royal British Legion Brass Band.  The objective of the music school is to make musical education fun, accessible and available to all in the local community at an affordable rate.  The membership is open to all ages, races, backgrounds and disabilities.  All staff for the music school come from within the Harwich Royal British Legion Brass Band.  Outside events are organised throughout the year, including London shows and other local activities.

Lessons are given on the following;

  • Brass Band Instruments
  • Drum Kit
  • Drum Corp
  • Recorders

The morning for the pupils consists of;

  • Instrumental Lessons
  • Group Lessons (Throughout the morning)
  • Musical Awareness
  • Performance Activities
  • Beginner and Apprentice Bands
  • Social Time (In the common room / tuck shop)
Tuition Fees

Since forming the music school in 2004 our tuition fees have remained unchanged. Our running costs have risen considerably since then so we have had to review the fees we charge and have decided that from 1st January 2007 the following rates will apply:


Brass (including Apprentice Band) = £7.00 per morning
Drum Corps / percussion = £5.00 per morning
Recorders = £4.00 per morning
Brass / Drum corps / percussion = £8.50 per morning
Apprentice band (Only) = £1.50 each rehearsal

We feel these revised fees still offer extremely good value compared with other musical tuition available. Don’t forget we do offer reduced fees for anyone who meets the hardship criteria (see Maureen for details). These fees also include the free use of an instrument.
