70% of Year 5 and 6 continue with free instrumental lessons: Sarah Lloyd, Kanes Hill Primary.

Season 4 Episode 1: Sponsored by Aurora Classroom http://auroraclassroom.co.uk In this episode, we explore how Kanes Hill Primary School has developed a deeply embedded music culture in which music sits at the heart of school life. Serving an inner-city community in Southampton, the school has created a sustainable and inclusive model where instrumental learning is free, valued, and widely accessed — with 70% of pupils continuing instrumental tuition into Years 5 and 6. Music leader Sarah Lloyd shares the school’s long-term journey, the structures that underpin success, and why ensemble music-making is central to sustaining engagement and building confidence. This episode contains a couple of technical gremlins due to wifi connectivity during the recording process. We apologise that the technical quality is occasionally not up to our usual high standards!
