Register for the autumn term 2021
If your course is full you can register on an interesting list. It is not a queue list but if someone quit there is a new chance to start. You can also check out our other courses mabe you find an available course that you want to try instead. In the end of every therm the list will be deleted.
We have a policy that says that a student may only play one musical instrument at a time at Kulturskolan. This is because we want as many children as possible will have the opportunity to participate on our culture school. But you can go to dance, art class, theater and photo at the same time as you play a musical instrument.
You are guaranteed 11 lesson each therm. These include concerts, performances, exhibitions and regular lessons. However, you will lose a lesson if you are unable to attend for any other reason. The lesson can be offered in real life our on distance. Talk with your teacher.
The majority are scheduled after school. In this case, lessons will be held at Kulturskolan, on the second floor of Blohmehuset on Skolgatan 1 our in folkets hus, skolgatan 18, Dance lessons will take place in rooms adapted for dance. We also offer some digital courses. Where the teacher and you meet online by a computer.
Students attend lessons for 20 minutes a week during regular primary school time, or after school. Dance, theater, art and orchestra sessions take place after school time. If you have another preference, this can always be discussed.
We follow the school year in effect in Älmhult Municipality, which means there are no regular lessons at Kulturskolan during holidays or training days.
Some instruments can be rented by those attending Kulturskolan’s courses. The following instruments are available for rent: violin, cello, acoustic guitar, trumpet, trombone, tuba, tenor horn, French horn, flute, clarinet and saxophone. Get in touch with us at kulturskolan@almhult.se and we’ll try to find a solution.
No prior experience is required, with every student at Kulturskolan given the chance to develop at their own pace. Students are expected to spend time practising at home ahead of forthcoming lessons.
If too few people sign up for a course (e.g., under five students at a school), the lessons will be held at Kulturskolan.
If you have completed primary school and have decided to stop playing an instrument for the time being, but are considering starting up again, get in touch with Kulturskolan.
As a beginner, you may try out a course of your choice for three lessons. If you decide not to continue, you must inform Kulturskolan by the third lesson at the latest, or you will be charged for the full term.
