Helping children find a way to make music that is right for them

We aim to foster a connection with music to help all young musicians to become independently motivated learners. Our experienced teachers set achievable goals, and encourage and celebrate progress. They also use creative and progressive musical learning techniques, provide progress reports, and the opportunity, where appropriate, to take external examinations and receive accreditations. We encourage parents/carers to support their child’s music making at home.

How it works

Depending on your school, parents/carers can either:

  • Sign up directly with the school (then your school asks us to deliver instrumental/voice lessons)
  • Register directly with us (we then let the school know there is a new student and make arrangements to teach the student in their school).

For home-schools students, those in long-term medical care, or NEET, you can arrange lessons at a non-school location. We will agree with you a convenient location at which the lesson can be delivered. We will process your application and contact you to discuss the arrangements.
