One of the teachers Tom Madill teaches saxophone, piano and guitar in school. Tom said: “I teach once a week at Priory for two to three hours, depending on the demand, with my main instrument the saxophone but I also teach guitar and piano. “I got into the saxophone through Katy Perry’s ‘Last Friday Night’ where there is a saxophone solo which I loved! “I love teaching music as it’s combining my hobby and my job! Music is fun, it’s an outlet from lessons and you can go on to have a variety of careers with it. It’s also good for mental health as it can help people relax and is uplifting.” Year 8 Alice is currently learning how to play the drums with KTB Music. “It’s fun and it’s something different. I have learnt a lot and I am going to do my grades and also do it as a GCSE. “The lessons are working! I have a band with my friends so I use my drumming skills and we play all different types of music.” Lessons are available in singing, piano, saxophone, drums and guitar at £7 for 15 minutes. Pupils will come out of a timetabled lesson on a rota basis. Contact or see Mr Taylor, Lead Teacher for Music, for further information.
