What it’s like
Small-group guitar, piano, drum and singing lessons for kids from age 3, with real gigs at proper venues twice a year.
This is a music school built around lessons on guitar, piano, drums or singing, with the youngest group starting at age 3. Rather than sitting your child in front of a keyboard alone for six months, they're playing in ensembles from day one, so even a beginner is making music with other kids fairly quickly.
The twice yearly showcases are the bit worth building the term around. These aren't school-hall recitals either, they're described as real venue performances, so your child gets an actual stage and an actual audience rather than a corner of the classroom. For a five-year-old who's only ever banged a tambourine at home, that's a decent step up.
The under-5s go into their own group at £44, while age 5 and up moves into small-group lessons at £70. That's a fair jump in price, and it's worth knowing which bracket your child falls into before you commit, since the older group's fee is more than the little ones' by a good margin. There's no mention of a single taster session, so you're likely signing up for a run of lessons rather than dipping a toe in first.
