LMS Whole Class Instrumental Tuition (WCIT)

A Lancashire Music Service teacher will visit your school each week to work with the pupils alongside the class teacher and teaching assistants. This inclusive and fun approach to music making provides all pupils (and participating staff!) with a positive experience of both learning an instrument and playing together in an ensemble.

WCIT is designed to complement and support the wider school music curriculum with progress recognised through built-in performance opportunities and an end of year assessment.

Through WCIT, your pupils…

  • Learn basic instrumental skills
  • Develop their musical skills and knowledge, including reading notation
  • Play together in an ensemble
  • Sing together to support their learning
  • Are encouraged to use ICT
  • Improvise and compose
  • Take part in performances
  • Experience different musical styles

Lancashire Music Service, the lead organisation of the Lancashire Music Hub, has a prestigious partnership with Yamaha, a global leader in musical instruments and audio equipment. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in our mission to provide high-quality music education and resources to young people across Lancashire.

Through this partnership, Lancashire Music Service will gain access to Yamaha’s state-of-the-art instruments, including brass and woodwind instruments, electronic string instruments and percussion equipment. These instruments will significantly enhance the learning experience for our students, providing them with world class resources to develop their musical skills.
Yamaha will also support Lancashire Music Service through workshops, masterclasses, and exclusive events, offering students unique opportunities to learn from industry professionals and gain invaluable insights into the world of music. This initiative has been made possible by the Department for Education's Music Hub Capital Grant for Musical Instruments, Equipment and Technology.

This video was created for a landmark concert on the 21st May 2025 where our new Lancashire Yamaha Youth Ambassadors were celebrated. The video captures the moment some of the new ambassadors received their brand new instruments and the excitement that brought.
