How it works
Your child’s musical education will be comprised of two components: private instrumental lessons and group classes/special events.
Each month your child will receive 3x 40mins private lessons* with their assigned tutor during which he/she will learn repertoire and technique specific to that instrument.
Once a month there will also be a special event for your child to attend, in place of their private lesson. These special events take the form of practice challenges, concerts, masterclasses and workshops. They are designed to provide variety to the learning experience, bring students together, and help them develop additional musical skills they would not get in their private lesson.
*Children 7yrs and younger are eligible for 30min lessons

Nathaniel Walker
Nathaniel has been playing guitar for 7 years. Although he originally learned classical, he also enjoys playing a variety of styles, with a particular interest in fingerstyle, and rock. Learning guitar sparked his love for music, and has taken him far into the realms of composition, arranging, and audio production. Nathaniel originally had been playing the ukulele and after seeing his dad play guitar so much, decided to pick it up in primary school, and not a day goes by he doesn’t regret that decision.
FAQs
-
A key component of progress for a very young child (under 8 years old) is parental involvement (checking that practice is being made, homework completed, and helping the child with learning notes if required).
A good age to start learning would be around 8 years old, when the child has developed some maturity, is able to focus during a lesson and can take responsibility for their own learning.
