Does Your Leeds School Offer Music Lessons? Here's How Music Lab's Peripatetic Service Works

If you're a parent in Leeds, you've probably had the conversation: "I want my child to learn an instrument — but when? And where?"

After-school clubs are full. Private lesson studios require a separate trip across town. And by the time homework, dinner, and bedtime arrive, there's just no room left.

That's exactly why Music Lab School offers a peripatetic music service — bringing qualified, engaging music tutors directly to schools across Leeds.

Here's how it works, and why more and more Leeds schools are signing up.

What Is a Peripatetic Music Service?

A peripatetic music teacher is one who travels between schools, delivering individual or small-group instrument lessons during the school day. Rather than your child having to travel to a lesson, the lesson comes to them.

Music Lab School's peripatetic tutors are fully qualified, DBS-checked, and experienced in teaching children of all ages and abilities. We currently serve primary and secondary schools across Leeds, including areas like Beeston, Chapel Allerton, Meanwood, and Roundhay.

What Instruments Do We Teach?

Our peripatetic service covers a wide range of instruments, including:

• Guitar (acoustic and electric)

• - Piano and keyboard

• - Drums and percussion

• - Vocals and singing

• - Bass guitar

• - Ukulele

Whether your child wants to strum their first chord or is ready to work toward graded exams, our tutors tailor every lesson to the individual student.

Why Schools Choose Music Lab School

Schools that partner with us get more than just a tutor showing up once a week. We provide:

A structured curriculum aligned with music education best practice. Regular progress updates for parents and teachers. Support with school music events, performances, and assemblies. Flexible scheduling to minimise disruption to core lessons. Competitive pricing that's accessible for families.

We also handle all the admin — so the school doesn't need to. From scheduling to invoicing, everything is managed by our team.

The Benefits for Your Child

Research consistently shows that children who learn a musical instrument perform better academically, develop stronger concentration, and build resilience through practice and performance. A peripatetic lesson during school hours means no after-school stress, no extra journeys, and a consistent routine that helps children progress faster.

Music Lab School students often go on to perform in school concerts, local events, and even enter national competitions — all starting from that first lesson during the school day.

Is Your Child's School Already Partnered With Us?

We work with a growing number of Leeds schools, and we're always looking to expand. If your school isn't currently offering Music Lab peripatetic lessons, speak to your head of music or school office — or contact us directly.

If you'd like your child to start music lessons — at school or at one of our four studio locations in Leeds — you can book a free trial lesson today.

No experience needed. All ages welcome. First lesson completely free.
