The SETU Music School Musicianship course is an exciting and rewarding part of our young musician’s journeys. Blending music theory with hands-on practical skills, the course is designed to build confidence, spark creativity, and deepen musical understanding. Students progress through eight levels, from Junior to Advanced, with each stage offering new challenges and insights.
Most students begin in 2nd class, with placement tailored to their instrument, experience, and age. Classes are held on various weekdays and run alongside instrumental or vocal tuition to enrich overall learning. For older beginners or those eager to fast-track their skills, the Access Programme offers a focused and accelerated path into musicianship.
