DWA manages parent sign-up and payments
We organise the parent-facing process directly, including payments, so the school office is not left chasing lesson fees.
For schools
Bring DWA to Your School
A simple way to offer school-day drum and guitar lessons, with DWA handling the taster, parent sign-up, payments and teaching.
Music lessons in school
We make school lessons easy to run
Drum With Alex comes into partner schools across West Berkshire and Hampshire to run drum and guitar tasters, organise interested families and deliver regular lessons during the school day. The school gets a clear music opportunity for pupils without taking on the parent payment process.
Why schools bring DWA in
Low-admin lessons for the school office
A taster before lessons begin
We can come into school for taster sessions, speak to interested pupils and then follow up with families who want to continue.
Clear reports for families
Parents receive termly progress reports at Christmas, Easter and Summer, with useful notes on what pupils have been working on.
Built around the school day
Lesson times rotate every half term and weekly email reminders help families and pupils know when lessons are happening.
How it works
From taster to weekly lessons
1. Arrange a taster
We discuss the school timetable, suitable spaces and the best way to introduce pupils to drum or guitar lessons.
2. DWA handles the parent process
Interested families complete the next step with us directly, including lesson information and parent payments.
3. Lessons start in school
Once places are confirmed, regular school-day lessons begin with reminders, rotation and progress reporting in place.

For pupils
A regular, positive music opportunity
School lessons give pupils a practical way to try an instrument, build a weekly learning routine and work towards clear next steps. Reports help families understand what is being covered and how practice can be supported at home.
PPA and enrichment
PPA, clubs and wider music support
If a school is looking at PPA cover, enrichment time, clubs or small-group music support, DWA can discuss what would be realistic for the timetable, space and pupils.
