Whole Class Ensemble Tuition (WCET) programme gives every child the chance to experience the joy of making music. Delivered weekly in school by a Music Partnership North tutor, alongside a member of school staff, these sessions introduce students to playing an instrument in a fun and engaging way. Beyond learning to play, children develop a wide range of valuable skills, including teamwork, confidence, and creativity.
