After School tuition
Our DRA tutors have been working with Murrayburn Primary School pupils in Edinburgh to give them singing, ukulele and drumming lessons every week after school.
“Our online ukulele and vocal sessions have made it possible for pupils, who might not otherwise get the opportunity, to extend and consolidate their skills and understanding. The sessions are fun, accessible and challenging for the pupils and I have seen a huge improvement in their confidence over just a few weeks. Music is such an important (and often overlooked) aspect of learning, so I am delighted that this exciting opportunity is being offered to help our pupils to reach their potential” Jenny MacDonald, teacher at Murrayburn Primary School.
