After school Instrumental lessons at Copenhagen International School
Private lessons are available to CIS students after school, provided by an outside staff. If you do not have an instrument already, you can rent one from a local music store. Your after-school teacher can recommend the best place to rent an instrument.
If students need to cancel or reschedule a lesson, please contact the after-school teacher directly.
After-School Teachers
Application
To apply for after-school lessons, email the teachers directly to organize a lesson time.
Guidelines for After-School Lessons
Tuition Fee
Payment for the lessons throughout the year is to be arranged directly with the tutor.
Student absence
The tutors need to be notified at least the night before of a lesson absence; Students will be charged for the lesson if this notice is not given. The tutors will endeavour to keep changes to their timetables to a minimum.
Ensemble Participation
It is expected that, where possible, all students who learn an instrument at school should be involved in a school ensemble. Ensemble participation is a vital area of musicianship and helps to foster rapid progress.
Home Practice
Students should, along with their tutors, develop a regular home practice schedule. Commitment to a practice routine is essential in developing sound instrumental technique. This, in turn, gives improved musical outcomes and greater enjoyment.
