FAQs

  • Lessons last 30 minutes and usually take place every week. We have found this to be the most effective way to maximise student progress. If you require a different lesson duration/frequency, please feel free to get in touch to discuss your specific needs.

  • We don’t set age limits for our students, as we believe that learning a musical instrument benefits everyone, regardless of age. We review this on a case-by-case basis, so please get in touch if you’re unsure whether music lessons are suitable for you/your child.

  • We ask that all children under 16 are accompanied by a parent or guardian for the duration of the lesson. You may choose to wait in the room with your child, or if preferred you can wait in a different room within hearing distance of the lesson. All of our tutors hold an enhanced DBS certificate, so you can rest assured that your child is in safe hands.

  • Practicing at home is an essential part of learning any musical instrument, so to make the most of your lessons you will need access to an instrument. Your tutor can provide recommendations on suitable instruments for different ages and levels.

    You won’t need to bring any equipment to a taster session as we’ll provide everything for you, but you may wish to bring your own depending on the type of lesson (e.g. you might want to bring your own guitar or drumsticks.).

  • Protecting the hearing of our students and tutors is very important to us. In most cases, ear protection is not necessary as noise levels are kept within a safe range.

    For drum lessons, there may be occasions when ear protection is required. Ear plugs/ear defenders can be provided for this, but we recommend bringing your own. Your tutor can provide recommendations for cost effective ear protection.

  • We currently only offer this for guitar lessons, but we will be adding availability for other instruments in the near future. Please get in touch to register your interest.
