Play together

Our group sessions are ideal for those who want to come along, have a go, and have fun playing a range of instruments. Playing with others is a much more accessible way of learning than on your own at home. Playing with others can be thrilling; coming together to make something greater than the sum of its parts.

Individual lessons

Discover the joy of music through our individual Saturday morning music lessons. Our tutors offer personalised lessons for guitar, violin and viola at Ampthill. We also offer violin and viola at a location in Biggleswade.

No experience required

The centre is great for children and parents with no musical experience and for those who are already actively playing or singing. We can give you expert advice on what is best for you and your child.

Complements other music lessons

The centre is also great for students who already have individual lessons as it teaches them all the qualities needed to play as part of an ensemble.

Great value

We offer great quality and value for money. Our centre is run by specialists and each session is developed to the highest of standards. For our group sessions, there is minimal commitment of just eight weeks, and there’s a 25% discount incentive for new members!
