For schools · After-school music programme

An after-school music club, fully staffed.

Schools that want to offer music beyond the timetable — but don't want to administer it — can engage Concerto to run a structured after-school music programme on-site. We bring the trainers, the curriculum, the instruments (where needed), and the per-pupil reporting. You provide the space and the students.

Duration

90–120 min weekly sessions

Cohort size

8–20 students

Disciplines

Piano · Guitar · Voice · Theory

Termly engagement

What's included

The engagement, end to end.

01

Full programme delivery.

Concerto trainer arrives, sets up, runs the session, and packs up. No demand on your music staff (who often have left for the day anyway).

02

Instrument-stream choice.

Pick one stream (e.g. "keyboard for everyone") or run a multi-stream club (keyboard + guitar + voice in parallel sub-groups with rotation). We staff accordingly.

03

Termly recital.

Every term ends with a 30-minute student showcase for parents — keeps the programme visible, lets parents see what they're paying for, builds enrolment for the next term.

04

Per-pupil progress notes.

Termly written progress per student — useful for parent communication and for justifying the after-school fee structure to your finance committee.

Frequently asked

For school administrators.

01How does parent payment work?+

Your school invoices the parents directly per term (you already have those mechanics for other clubs). Concerto invoices the school separately as one quarterly engagement. You set the per-pupil fee at any margin that suits your school.

02Do we need to provide instruments?+

For piano/keyboard, the school typically owns keyboards. For guitar and voice, smaller setups are usually fine. Where the school doesn't own enough we either rent portable kits from our equipment-hire pool or include kit purchase in the quote.

03What if our space isn't great?+

Honestly: most school spaces work. We need a room of 30+ sqm with chairs and ideally power outlets (for keyboards). No room is too small for a 10-student cohort. Outdoor sessions work in dry weather.

04What ages can join?+

Ages 6 upward for instrumental sessions; ages 4–5 for our "Little Music" rhythm + voice-only cohort. We split the club by age band so a 7-year-old isn't in the same group as a 14-year-old.

05Can students sit ABRSM exams via this programme?+

Yes — after-school students who progress to grade-readiness can sit their ABRSM exams at our Kikuyu studio (or wherever ABRSM hosts that year). We coordinate registration with your music coordinator.

06Are after-school sessions different from a regular weekly lesson?+

In format yes — they're longer (90–120 min vs 45–60 min), more group-oriented, and more activity-varied (one block of instrument, one of theory game, one of ensemble play). The same Concerto curriculum underpins both.
