The instrumental service seeks to enhance the musical experiences available to pupils through instrumental tuition.

As well as focusing on the individual, instrumental tuition in East Ayrshire provides the opportunity for a wider musical experience through participation in ensembles, bands, orchestras and choirs.

Our instrumental service offers tuition in:

  • brass
  • guitar
  • highland bagpipes
  • keyboard
  • percussion

The service consists of an Instrumental Music Service Manager and staff who work on a peripatetic basis. It offers individual or group tuition to both primary and secondary schools.
