£18 for 30 minutes or £36 for an hour, one-to-one, paid as you go. Lessons run Monday to Thursday from 3pm, straight after school and into the evening.

Also ask about viola, saxophone, clarinet, flute and recorder. We don’t have a teacher for these right now, but you can register your interest.

For children
