Peripatetic music lessons
At Dixons City Academy we have a wide range of groups and ensembles ranging from beginners and intermediate to advanced performance levels. In addition to this many of our ensembles and soloists participate in local and national external music festivals and competitions. Each year the department receives funding through the Academy Trust. This, coupled with the parental contributions we receive annually, enables us to provide a Peripatetic Service of exceptionally high standards.
