Music to your ears, and ours.
We work with lots of different schools, so for specific information on your school click on your logo. If you don’t see your school below and would like to suggest Pelican for your school, contact us and we’ll tell you how!
What can you learn?
Not sure what to choose? Our Academic Music Teacher Ailsa has you covered with this video introducing all the instruments students can learn! We suggest watching with your child to see what instrument they’re drawn to and go with that!
What we do
We believe that all children should have access to great music tuition.
At Pelican Music, we do this by providing schools with a department of highly qualified staff, all with a history of professional playing as well as teaching. As well as individual instrumental tuition, we also run a wide range of ensembles both in and out of school hours, including choirs, orchestras and even samba bands!
We take care of all the administration, including scheduling (timetabling of lessons, rehearsals and clubs), finance (collecting fees and paying teachers) parent communication (regular updates, as well as termly and yearly reports) and more.
In return, schools provide our teachers the space we need and their support and commitment to musical education.
If you are interested in working with Pelican Music to offer instrumental tuition in your school, or if you're looking for help to staff your music department, please contact us - we'd love to hear from you.
“Pupils benefit from high quality teaching in all subjects, including in the arts ... One in four pupils learns to play a musical instrument.”
“Pelican handle all the administration of the music lessons, which is fantastic and takes the burden of this away from the school office.”
