We are a dynamic team of professional musicians with over 35 years of experience. Both Nick and Julie have played and taught extensively throughout the world in their careers and are now highly respected as top level consultants in their field.
Groups vary in terms of playing level so please ask if you are unsure as it is important to feel comfortable and secure. All courses require some level of reading. For many Adult players, the understanding of musical notation is the trickiest part. At beginner level, we can help you to establish note reading and rhythms. For Improver and Intermediate levels, we take the view that everyone makes mistakes, but is doing their best and offer help accordingly! By Advanced level, a fluent level of reading is required.
