The Vaughan Centre for Young Musicians
(VCYM), held from 4.30-6.30 p.m., on ten Mondays each term, offers Primary
School (age 7-11) boys the opportunity to extend their music curriculum and
receive specialist music tuition.
The VCYM provides each boy who attends with one instrumental lesson (either
individual or in a pair for beginners on certain instruments) lasting between
twenty and thirty minutes. Instruments offered are Piano, Organ, Violin, Viola,
Cello, Flute, Clarinet, Trumpet, French Horn, Trombone & Guitar. Boys are
provided with instruments on which to learn.
The remaining time is spent in musicianship classes, where the
boys play in an orchestra, sing in a choir, use music technology, receive aural
and rhythmic training and composing lessons. At the end of each term there is
an informal concert where the boys perform. Reports are written twice yearly
(at Christmas and Summer).
The VCYM costs £18 per session, £180 per term, payable in advance.
