It’s never too late to learn a new instrument

If you’ve always wanted to know how to play an instrument but never had the opportunity, our part time music courses could be for you.

Courses for all levels

We offer courses from Beginner to Advanced; helping those picking up an instrument for the first time, to those wanting to take their skills to the next level.

Our passionate tutors are keen to help you improve your skills and inspire you to enjoy playing your instrument as much as they do. You’ll be taught in a small group through a variety of teaching and learning methods, including demonstrations, plenty of time to practice, 1 to 1 tuition and group work.

Build regular practice into your routine

Through our evening courses you can give yourself a set time to commit to your practice.

Our tutors will help you progress from knowing the basics of playing such as how to hold your instrument and finger placing; to more advanced study such as chord progressions, improvisation and mastering complex techniques.

Our small classes will give you the chance to get consistent support and guidance whilst having the opportunity to meet fellow students keen to learn alongside you and bounce off new ideas.
