Please note: Lessons cancelled less than 24hrs prior will be charge at the full rate.
Is my son/daughter too young for lessons?
This is very dependent on the child and as a parent you know them best!
Things to consider would be their attention span, attitude to learning and experiencing new things. When learning an instrument the desire is key. If your little one is showing a lot of interest in playing a instrument and are repeatedly asking - Give it a try!
Karl currently teaches pupils as young as five. Each student really enjoys their lessons and is developing at a steady pace.
Is there somewhere I can stay whilst my child has there lesson ?
Yes! The studio has a waiting room for parents and partners to enjoy tea/coffee and biscuits. free Wifi is also available.
Where can I purchase my first Guitar and what do I need ?
Nothing is more exciting that buying that first Guitar, but with so such on offer it can be hard to know where to go and what to look for. Although online shopping is fast and easy, shopping for a instrument requires a bit more time and care. In store and in person is key.
