I'm keen to promote music in the school and am on the PTA. I'm helping with the PTA's 2nd hand uniform sales.
Questions have come up about the cost of music lessons (even the subsidised peripatetic ones). I thought about subsidising instrument hire but head is steering us away from that one.
How about just having sale of 2nd hand music books at the same time as the school uniform sale in summer, ie when the year 2 kids have already put their names down to start their new instruments? If we publicised it at the same time as they get the leaflet telling them what instruments they can play, then that should link up I reckon. The way it works (fairly obviously) is that the Year 3/4s hand in the Book 1 Keyboard/clarinet/whatever book they've mastered and we sell it to the Year 2s, pocketing the proceeds for the school.
what d'ya think? Wanted to check it out here as don't want to keep proposing things that head isn't keen on/other members aren't keen on.
