The lessonsTeaching people, not just the instrument

Everybody learns differently: some by reading, some by ear, some by being shown the shape of it and copying. Finding which one you are is most of the first month.

Progress comes from short, regular practice, so lessons are built around what you can realistically do between them rather than what a syllabus says you should.

What we teach

01BeginnersFrom the first note: how to hold it, how to sit, and how not to build a habit that has to be undone later.
02ChildrenLessons that keep it enjoyable, with parents told exactly what to help with at home.
03AdultsReturning after years, or starting for the first time.
04Reading musicNotes, rhythm and sight-reading, taught alongside playing rather than instead of it.
05Chords and by earChord shapes, tablature and working a song out from a recording, for the people who came for that.
06TechniqueScales, hand position and the unglamorous minutes that make the pieces possible.
07Exam and audition preparationGrades, auditions and entrance exams for a music school, with mock runs and honest feedback.
08Playing with othersEnsembles, bands and what changes when somebody else is counting.
09Songwriting and arrangingFor people who want to make something of their own.
10Online lessonsFor when travel, weather or a busy week gets in the way.

02Honest about practiceTwenty minutes most days beats two hours on a Sunday, and we will say so.

Starting lessons

For complete beginners and people coming back to it.

Meet, play a little, and talk about what you want to be able to play.
Step 2
A plan
Three pieces you want, and the technique and reading that get you there.
Step 3
Weekly lessons
With short practice notes to take home, written down rather than remembered.
Step 4
Play for someone
An informal concert or an exam, only if you want one.

Where lessons happen

The room, the instruments, and students playing, with their permission.

Questions people ask

How much practice is needed?

Twenty minutes most days is plenty at the start, and better than one long session.

Do I need my own instrument?

To practise between lessons, yes. Ask before buying — we will tell you what is worth the money and what is not.

Do I have to learn to read music?

Not to start playing, but it is worth it, and we teach it alongside rather than as a hurdle before the fun part.

How old should a child be?

It depends on the child and the instrument more than the age. Come for one lesson and we will tell you honestly.

Do I have to take exams?

No. Some people love them, some never take one, and both get on fine.

What if I have no sense of rhythm?

Almost everybody says that. It is learned, like everything else — usually with a metronome and less pain than you expect.

Instrument gathering dust?

One lesson is enough to find out whether this year is the year.
