Lessons and practice

We teach from six upwards, and adult beginners are a third of the school.

Not to start. We hire by the term and it comes off the price if you buy.

Only if you want them. Plenty of students never take a grade and play very well.
Trial lesson

Half an hour. On us.

A trial lesson with a teacher on the instrument you want, at the level you are actually at. Then you decide, and we tell you honestly if there is a wait.
