Lessons

We have taught many people how to play their chosen instrument at the Sound Affects. Many people come to learn with a view to taking grades, many come wanting to become proficient enough to play live in a band or solo and many just come to learn an instrument for their own pleasure with no ambitions to do anything performance or grade wise.

We do not teach to a set curriculum or offer a course of lessons, lessons can go on for as long as you wish. Some people come for a few months of refresher lessons others have been having lessons for some time. It is up to you how long you wish to learn and there is no long term commitment.

The only thing we ask for in advance is the cost of your next. So for your first lesson you pay double which covers your next lesson as well as your first. When you wish to finish, let us know and you don't pay for your last lesson.

The lessons we operate are very much pupil focused. If you want to learn a specific style or even a specific song, the teacher will work with you to achieve this. You specify the direction within which you wish to learn and the teacher will help you get there. If however you are unsure about what direction you want to go in, don't worry, the teacher will still be able to help you and improve your knowledge of playing.

We operate a cancellation scheme which means if you unable to attend a lesson that you have booked and paid for you may cancel it and carry your payment forward to the next lesson as long as 48 hours notice is given.
