The purpose of processing
B&NES Music Service and Music Education Hub encourages the highest quality engagement from a range of skilled deliverers, ensuring that financial considerations will not be a barrier to accessing this provision. We collect and process your personal data to enable delivery of our services:
Tuition
B&NES Music Service has a team of qualified Peripatetic Music Tutors, delivering individual and small group instrumental lessons to students in schools throughout Bath and North East Somerset. Any instrument can be catered for, with lessons currently being provided on all orchestral instruments, guitar, keyboard and voice.
Whole class tuition
In addition to these lessons, many primary school students receive whole class instrumental lessons through the Music Service’s ‘first access’ programme. The programme provides routes for whole classes of children at KS2 to be taught music through learning a musical instrument.
Ensembles (including online/virtual rehearsals)
Students are encouraged to further their instrumental skills at one of the weekly music centres where players can develop ensemble skills, meet other like-minded musicians and take part in regular performing opportunities.
Instrument hire
Purchasing an instrument can be very expensive so it may be more cost-effective to hire an instrument from B&NES Music Service’s bank of instruments.
Examination entry
Tutors are encouraged to enter pupils for instrumental exams providing pupils, parents and schools with recognised accreditation. Tutors will advise which of the accredited examination boards is most appropriate for the pupil.
Additional information
Online music examinations have become part of the offer from Music Examination Boards. Pupils are required to submit a video recording (either directly to the examination board via email or on the examination board’s website) in-line with the specific requirements for the chosen examination.
Prior to any video being shared, either in an examination context, any virtual ensemble performances and/or streamed music performance context, parents/carers will (electronically) sign an agreement to say that they give consent for the video to be shared with the tutor and/or others as specified on the consent form. The music audio alone does not constitute personal data.
