Irrespective of academic ability, learning to sing or play a musical instrument has a wide range of benefits to a child’s emotional well-being and wider educational development including:
- Boosting confidence
- Providing positive focus
- Increasing concentration and memory skills
- Improving behaviour
- Developing co-operation and teamwork
- Supporting development of skills in other areas such as language and maths
Severn Arts has a team of highly skilled music teachers who are able to deliver lessons on almost any instrument and in any style. Lessons take place either in school or at one of our Area Music Centres.
Free Yamaha keyboard taster session
Are you interested in learning to play the keyboard? Come along to one of our free taster sessions in September and have go! Taking part in a taster session is the perfect way to decide whether it is the instrument for you before signing up and paying for a full course of lessons.
The one-hour session will give students a flavour of the well-established Yamaha keyboard teaching method which focuses on practical hands on experience, learning together as well as giving individual support and having fun!
The taster sessions are being held on the dates and times shown below in the teaching room at Severn Arts, Suite 11 Malvern Gate, Bromwich Road, St Johns, Worcester, WR2 4BN. They are open to anyone aged 8 – 18 and all equipment is provided.

Reserving a place: all you have to do is decide on the dates and times that work best for you and email [email protected] with this information. We will then reply to your email with confirmation of your booking. Please note we do ask parents/carers to stay and experience the session with their children.
Lessons in School
Lessons during school time are organised and invoiced by your child’s school. Each school decides which instruments they would like to take lessons in, subject to pupil demand. Severn Arts charges schools at a standard hourly rate and schools set their own charging policies. Please contact your school office or Music Co-ordinator to find out which instruments they take and how much they charge for lessons.
You should also ensure that your child has an instrument before they commence lessons. These can be hired from Severn Arts. Please allow two weeks for delivery.
Lessons at Music Centres
We also offer opportunities to take lessons outside of the school day at our four Music Centres:
- Bromsgrove
- St John’s CE Middle School Academy
- Kidderminster
- Kidderminster College
- Malvern
- The Grove Primary School
- Worcester
- Severn Arts Offices
