Woodwind Department

​

The Woodwind Department offers the opportunity for children and young people, to receive tuition in a wide range of Woodwind instruments. We have a team of peripatetic Woodwind teachers working in both Primary and Secondary schools. This provision gives children access to tuition on Woodwind instruments and it also provides support to the teaching staff in each school.
