Our courses for children have been carefully selected and refined to ensure your child succeeds. For adults we offer private lessons on an informal basis, and are happy to match the needs and goals of each individual. Exams are not mandatory, and lesson times are flexible. If you're just getting started and don't have an instrument they are available to rent. First month is free!
