Free Music Instrument Lessons in Northfield Academy

Aberdeen City Music Service aims to offer high quality musical experiences for children and young people across the city.

Music Instructors visit all schools in Aberdeen and offer weekly lessons on a range of musical instruments to small groups of children learning together.

There may now be the opportunity for your child to receive lessons in Northfield free of charge. This is on a first come-first served basis.

Instruments Available include:

  • Drums and Percussion
  • Guitar and Ukulele
  • Piano
  • Violin
  • Woodwind

There may already be a waiting list in your school. If so, and there are no spaces available in your school, your child will be placed on the waiting list & offered lessons as soon as a lesson time becomes available.

If your child is not currently receiving music tuition from the service and you would like them to receive it, please go online to complete this form:

Creative Industries Animation

The creative industries class have been working really hard this year to create an animation to present to the school & community. They began by writing the story and developing this into a stop motion animation using a range of digital techniques, then overlaying sound effects and a script.

Sadly due to lockdown they missed some editing opportunities but the end result is still fab! 

Please have a watch, enjoy and give us your feedback for their end evaluation! Thanks! Miss Jamieson
