all you need to know

Our approach to music education is focused around collaboration, technique, enjoyment and development. Our pricing starts at £25 per half an hour, or £40 an hour. Discounts are applied when booking lessons in bulk. All new students start with a brief Zoom lesson/consultation so we can meet, talk about your goals, and ensure the best possible start to your learning journey.

Who Lessons Are For

Our lessons are ideal for:

  • Complete beginners who don’t know where to start

  • Players who feel “stuck” and want to break past a plateau

  • Children and teenagers learning their first instrument

  • Adults returning to music after years away

  • Songwriters who want to understand their instrument better

  • Students preparing for grades, performances, or auditions

  • Anyone who simply wants to enjoy playing music more

You don’t need any prior experience. You just need the interest.

How Lessons Work

  • One-to-one sessions

  • Available online or in person

  • Weekly lessons recommended for best progress

  • Clear direction each week so you always know what to work on

  • Friendly, supportive environment where questions are encouraged

Parents are welcome to discuss progress, and adult learners are treated as collaborators in their own development.

What You’ll Learn

Lessons are always tailored to the individual, but typically include:

  • Core technique and good playing habits from day one

  • Chords, riffs, scales, and songs you actually want to play

  • Rhythm, timing, and playing with confidence

  • Understanding how music works (without it feeling like school)

  • Improvisation, creativity, and musical expression

  • Guidance on practice so you improve between lessons

We balance structure with flexibility, so learning feels motivating, not overwhelming.

For Parents

Learning an instrument builds confidence, patience, creativity, and focus. Lessons are paced carefully so students feel encouraged rather than pressured, and progress is always celebrated.

We aim to make lessons something your child looks forward to each week.
