bristol guitar tuition

Hello everyone, my journey to becoming a guitar teacher is a long and varied one. Growing up in Reading I started playing the guitar at the relatively late age of 13. I took to it quickly though and was soon playing a variety of styles and performing in bands with schoolmates around town. I had lessons in rock, classical, blues, and jazz from quality local performers which gave me a solid grounding in techniques and styles. Also I studied music at school and attended extra-curricular music theory lessons which culminated in me passing Grade 8 Theory at the age of 17.

south west music school

South West Music School is a charity working with talented young instrumentalists, singers and composers aged 8 – 19 years in the South West of England. Due to the geographical nature of the South West, we are not building based but are a ‘virtual’ school working with young people on an individual basis in their local area. In addition, our students come together on a regular basis to collaborate, create, learn new skills and perform together. South West Music School is part of a national network of Centres of Advanced Training supported by the Department for Education Music and Dance Scheme for exceptionally talented young musicians. Funding provided by the DfE can ensure that each student has adequate resources to undertake involvement with SWMS and that all costs are met according to need (there is an optional section within our application form to help us determine your grant eligibility). South West Music School (SWMS) provides students with the same standard of music education as specialist music schools and junior conservatoires. The additional benefit of SWMS is that it allows students to stay in their existing education and continue to take part in other current musical (and non-musical) activities in their local communities. South West Music School covers each county in the South West region: Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Somerset, Bristol, Gloucestershire, BaNES and Wiltshire. How much does it cost? The cost of a place at SWMS depends on the specific programme and tailored package of activities provided for each student. We work with families to ensure we place students on the right programme and with the right level of support for ability level, age, musical interest, and budget. SWMS students have access to means-tested grants from the Department of Education’s Music & Dance Scheme. A full grant will cover the entire costs of a place with South West Music School, as well as providing additional financial support for activities such as instrumental tuition. For more information about our fees, and applying for a grant, click here. How can I apply? We have a formal application process from March through to the end of May, however if you are interested in joining SWMS during an academic year please get in touch with Tracy Hill t.hill@swms.org.uk. All information on the application process can be found on our How to Apply page.

bath school of ukulele

And you give yourself to those parts but you don’t always get as much back for yourself - something that’s just for you. But ukulele and the band, this is something for us. We only started playing the ukulele in our late twenties and thirties. It’s such an accessible instrument and one of the quickest instruments you can learn a song on. Learn 4 chords and you can play hundreds of songs.
