All of our teachers are fully qualified and hold Enhanced Disclosures. We like to practice what we preach, so you'll find that most of our staff have played with some of the biggest names in the industry such as Christina Aguilera.

We offer classical and popular music tuition in all instruments. We teach ABRSM grades, Rockschool Grades and Trinity Grades, but if you're more interested in being in a band or just want to play at home to relax, then we have just the lessons for you.

Our teachers work with children (age 4+) as well as adults. The school opens at 9am and closes at 10pm, 7 days a week and we have a wealth of music professionals in the school at all times, that way, you can have a lesson when you want. Feel free to give us a call to speak with one of the teachers who will be more than happy to help you with any questions you may have.

We encourage our students to record and produce their music in our state of the art recording facilities at the school if and when they feel ready. Further to this, our music management team can help organise everything from live performances to building your own myspace account with your music, should you wish.

We make learning an instrument fun, modern, easy and exciting!

Andy McLaughlan
Are you serious about learning guitar? If so take a minute to consider studying with me. Whilst a high number of guitar teachers take shortcuts yet still demand you pay them full, I pride myself on a value for money approach. I understand the rewards gained from consistent focused practicing and want this same sense of self satisfaction for my students. I don't take the ' go home and play this until our next lesson' approach that others take. I understand the difference between playing and practicing, and herein lies the key to your progression as a player. So if studying with a teacher who pushes you to practice and grow as a musician is for you contact me. I charge £13 per hour or £110 for a booking of 10. I can teach in your home for £15 per hour. location Wishaw andrew_mclaughlan@hotmail.com 07903 743 617
