We offer lessons for students of all ages! Our programs are designed for both children and adults. Children's lessons: We typically start children’s lessons at age 6 or 7, depending on their confidence in group settings. Adult lessons: We offer tailored lessons for adults who are either beginners or more advanced musicians, in a supportive, encouraging environment.

We teach a wide variety of instruments, including piano, guitar, violin, drums, voice, and more. In addition to traditional instruments, we also offer lessons in music technology, where students can learn about music production, sound engineering, and digital audio workstations (DAWs).

Children's lessons: These are typically offered at local schools and at our studio. Adult lessons: Private one-on-one lessons are available at our studio. Workshops: We currently offer workshops for children, providing an interactive and fun learning environment, these take place in local schools. Often during holiday breaks. Adult workshops are not yet available, but this is something we may add in the future. Music technology lessons: These are available at our studio and at school, where students can work with modern equipment and software in a hands-on learning experience.

Free trial lessons are offered exclusively for children at schools. Unfortunately, free trial lessons are not available for adults or at our studio.

Children’s lessons at school: These are typically 30 minutes long. Adult lessons at the studio: These are available in either 25-minute or 50-minute sessions, depending on your preference and availability. Music technology lessons: These are usually 50 minutes long to allow for enough hands-on practice with equipment and software.

For children: If your child misses a lesson at school or the studio, we require 24 hours' notice for cancellations. If notice is provided in time, we will issue a make-up credit that can be used for a future lesson. For adults: A 24-hour cancellation notice is required for studio lessons. If notice is provided in time, we will reschedule the lesson for a later date. If rescheduling isn’t possible, we will refund the lesson.

We offer the following payment options: Termly payments: Invoices are sent at least 5 days before the start of each term. Payment is due two weeks after the start of the term. Direct Debit: This option spreads the cost of lessons throughout the year, including during the summer holidays, with a fixed monthly amount. Direct Debit payments at school come with a discount. Per lesson payment: Available for both children’s and adult lessons at the studio, where you can pay for individual lessons as you go. We also offer lesson packages at a discounted rate for those who want to commit to multiple lessons upfront. Find more information on pricing by clicking 'School Lessons' or '1-1 Lessons' on the menu at the top of the page.

We accept payment via Stripe (card), BACS, or direct debit. Cash or cheque payments are not accepted.

A late payment fee of 10% of the invoice amount will be added if payment is not received within two weeks of the due date. Unpaid invoices will result in paused lessons until the balance is settled.

While owning your own instrument is ideal for practice, we can recommend second-hand options and specific places to purchase instruments. We are happy to provide advice on models and retailers that will best suit your needs. However, we currently do not offer rental options for instruments.

It’s important to remember that regular practice, even in small amounts, is key to progress! While it might seem daunting to dedicate long hours to practice, in reality, short and consistent sessions can be incredibly effective. For children: 5 minutes every other day (or even less) can make a huge difference in their learning progress. For adults: Setting aside a little time each week for practice is equally beneficial. Consistency is more important than the duration of each session. We encourage our students to practice regularly but don't expect them to spend hours at a time. It's better to practice a little bit each day than to try and cram everything into one long session. Even brief practice sessions help to build muscle memory, improve focus, and make learning more enjoyable! For children, it’s normal for them to need a little extra support to stay motivated and interested in practicing. Here are some fun and effective ways to encourage regular practice at home: Games: Turn practice into a game to make it more exciting! You can set up challenges, reward milestones, or play musical games that involve rhythm and melody. Reward Charts: A reward chart can be a great visual motivator, where children can see their progress and earn small rewards for practicing consistently. Family Performances: Encourage family members to get involved! Performing for family can boost a child’s confidence and make practice feel more rewarding. Child Teaching Parent: Let your child teach you what they've learned. This helps them reinforce their knowledge and see their progress in a fun way! If you're unsure about how to structure practice at home or keep your child engaged, our teachers are always happy to offer guidance and tips during lessons. And remember, My Music Staff helps track practice time, so you and your child can celebrate their achievements together!

For children: If your child misses a lesson at school or the studio, we require 24 hours' notice of absence. With advance notice, we will issue a make-up credit for the missed lesson. For adults: A 24-hour cancellation notice is also required for studio lessons. If notice is provided in time, we will reschedule the lesson for a later date. If rescheduling isn’t possible, we will refund the lesson.

If a tutor is absent and no substitute can be arranged, we will issue a ‘make-up credit’ for the missed lesson, and a catch-up lesson will be scheduled within the same term. If a catch-up lesson cannot be arranged, the following term’s invoice will be adjusted. For adult lessons, if the tutor is absent, the lesson will be rescheduled.

Enrolling is simple! Fill out our online registration form or contact us directly to get started. We’ll match your child with the perfect teacher and schedule their first lesson. For adults, you can also directly book your first lesson at our studio via our website.
