Can we learn the guitar? Guitar is only available for pupils who can already play the guitar (either elextric or acoustic).

 

Are we guaranteed our first choice of instrument?

Although we do our best to assign first choice instruments, numbers are limited for each instrument and pupils may not be physically big enough to play their first choice instrument. To avoid disappointment please do not set expectations that they will definitely get their first choice.

Please put alternative choices on the registration form.
