SCMT music lessons are always tailored with enjoyment in mind. Our teachers are here to engage and inspire you, maximise your potential, prioritise progression and put you completely at ease. We are a traditional music school of professional teachers, all holding music degrees and actively endorsed by our local centres/music shops and six University Music Faculties. SCMT has been here for 18 years… and it shows:
- Tell us exactly what you are looking for in a music teacher and we’ll match you up with someone straight away.
- You will then be offered a free introductory consultation with your teacher, with no obligation to book. This will be either a 15 minute zoom video call, a free introductory in person meet and greet, a 20 minute phone appointment… or a 20-30 minute free lesson, depending on the tutor’s circumstances.
- If you decide to continue, you can pay for lessons one at a time.
- You can be taught within your own home, on the teacher’s premises (studio or home) or on your local university campus.
- A Starter Pack containing a hand-picked music book and all relevant materials is provided free of charge.
- Performance plays a massive part. Our concerts provide excellent incentives, all year round.
Our teachers will always tailor the music lessons to suit you as an individual, whether you want a new hobby, to pass exams as they come along, or win competition trophies! We have regular concerts that all of our students can play in. These are massively popular with our young pupils and their proud parents. We’ve also just launched our Youth Music Competitions (see more on the Concerts and Events page), adding yet another exciting annual event to our music calendar.
Lessons last for 30 minutes, 45 minutes or an hour depending on your age, ability, and the instrument you are learning. Variety is key to enjoyment so music theory, flashcards, scales, duets, music listening, aural skills and composition are incorporated where relevant. A commitment to maximising your potential alongside engaging teaching methods will result in you (or your child) appreciating, understanding and most of all, enjoying the music they play.
