The CAVMS team are all selected for their ability to enthuse the younger learner and give them the opportunity to learn and perform. Every musician has full D.B.S. (Disclosure and Barring Service) clearance, Public Liability Insurance and regular accredited Child Safeguarding Training, along with regular inset training on examination techniques, current teaching methodology and any other relevant issues. CAVMS offers the full range of orchestral instrumental tuition, as well as piano, voice, guitar and drums in Primary Schools. Typically we start at KS2, but some schools are happy that beginners start in year 2. Early starters cannot normally play Brass or Woodwind instruments until they have second teeth, but guitar, violin and piano are suitable. The smaller beginner will need to have a smaller instrument (guitar and violin) and half and three-quarter size instruments are available to purchase.
CAVMS was founded in 1993 by John Leach, and became a limited company in 2002. In 2012 John retired from the management team (he still teaches for CAVMS) and the Company was taken over by David Miller and John Murray. CAVMS now delivers quality music tuition in over 80 schools, teaching over 2000 students every week.
