Dear Members, Parents and Carers,

The health, safety and wellbeing of all our music-making community continues to be our priority; young musicians, tutors, administration staff and audiences.

There will be no Music Centre for the remainder of this academic year. However, we are developing exciting plans for September 2020 – even though the shape of activities might be a little different!

Instrumental/Vocal Lessons (for pupils usually taught by Sefton Music Service tutors). Lesson materials – are being provided by tutors for all pupils involved in individual and small group lessons. These are available through the head of music/music coordinator at the school that your child attends.

If you require any further information please do not hesitate to contact me.

Please stay safe.

Yours sincerely

Chris. Lennie

Sefton Music Service
