After always wanting to learn guitar but never getting round to it I decided to start lessons with Neil, so far it has been excellent and I find myself improving every week!

I started guitar lessons here a few months ago and i've learnt so much in such a short period of time. I used to be tutored for a year whilst in high school but i learnt nothing, within the first week of being tutored here i had already learnt a new song of my choice and now know so many more songs. Lessons are also super fun and enjoyable and all the teachers are funny and friendly. From my experience, i learnt a lot more with the hour lessons than the 30 min lessons if anyone is interested in starting lessons!

Absolutely love the Music school here, have been taking Piano lessons with Ketaki for a while. She is a really great teacher & I love the lessons.
I'm so slow at learning, it must be very painful to watch, but she's always patient & a fantastic person to learn from.
The prices are very reasonable compared to other places I have seen too 😀

I have been taking weekly drumming lessons for over a month now, and I have been loving it. Joel has been an amazing tutor, teaching me a variety of songs in such a fun environment. Would highly recommend 👌

I started drum lessons with Joel early on this year, i have already had lessons in the past and been in bands before but my confidence was dropped and my anxiety was through the roof. Joels lessons are shaped in what you want to do and how you want to learn in your way. He'll always make you feel comfortable and listened to and as long as you're having fun while learning something then it's a good day. I started the band workshop with him aswell and he's very encouraging and straight forward with how things go during the session but will also help in any way to get you through anything you're struggling with. Everyone needs a Joel in their life and i'm glad he's in mine.

Been having guitar lessons with Neil for a few months and the experience is thoroughly enjoyable. He teaches the
genres, bands and songs I want to learn at my pace and tailors the lessons to suit my needs. The environment is very professional and relaxed with a vast selection of equipment and resources. Neil is an excellent teacher and musician and would highly recommend him and his staff to anybody looking for music lessons from beginners to more experienced players.
