Try your local music service/hub. Which part of London are you in?

Try the Triborough Music hub. They have a Saturday music school in Hammersmith that sounds like the kind of thing you're after.

If you are interested in holiday courses Brass Academy is good from age 8:

Brass bands often have junior programmes (common up here not sure about London) or through the schools music service. Otherwise find a teacher privately. Brass instruments tend to start a bit older than strings and piano he's still quite young - perhaps the recorder for this summer?

As others have said, check out your local music service for opportunities. Some of the music colleges teach brass from about 7 e.g. Junior Trinity in Greenwich.

wow, thank you for replies. We are in West London. Will explore suggestions. DO you know in order to audition for Junior programmes - what grade realistically children should be (trumpet)?

It depends on the sort of junior programme you're going for e.g. at Junior Trinity, there's a band time programme which starts children off on the recorder. Auditions for the main programme don't tend to happen until age 10 or 11. I've known 10-yr-olds audition with grade 4 trumpet and with grade 7 trumpet - both got in as it's not dependent upon grades.
