What we teach
Lessons on every instrument in a band
A lesson is thirty or forty-five minutes, private or shared with a bandmate, on its own or beside a band.
Guitar
Electric and acoustic. Chords and riffs first, then rhythm and lead parts, with songs you know.
Bass
Locking in with the drummer, finding the root and keeping the groove steady.
Drums
A groove first, then fills. Lessons start on a practice pad and move to the kit.
Keys
Chords, bass lines and sounds for a band, on a keyboard or a piano.
Voice
Singing into a microphone, counting in and resting your voice between songs.
Songwriting
Bringing a riff or a line to a lesson and turning it into a song with a teacher.
At home
What to have at home
A guitar or bass that stays in tune, a practice pad and sticks, or a keyboard is enough to begin. Ask your teacher before you buy or rent; the rehearsal rooms have amps and a drum kit.

What happens in a lesson

Step 1: A warm-up
A few minutes on what you already know, so your hands and ears are ready.

Step 2: New material
Something new, shown slowly and then at speed, with your own songs mixed in.
- 03
Step 3: A plan for the week
Your teacher writes down what to practice, and you leave knowing what comes next.
Come in
Take a lesson, or play in a band
Try a class and a teacher will hear you play. Lessons and bands can go together.
