Specialist teachers of guitar and vocals in Northampton (Est. 2003)
Expert Guitar Lessons at Affordable Prices in Northampton
The brother and sister team of Chris and Elizabeth Sommerfield are both Music Graduates who specialize in classroom and individual teaching. Both work extensively in schools (both primary and secondary students) and also have a wealth of experience teaching adults. Many of their students have gone on to study music at university.
Their aim is to provide music tuition in a fun, relaxed atmosphere, whether working towards grades or just for the enjoyment of it.
Lessons are held in our studio during term time or alternatively we are able to offer on-line lessons.
Lessons are available on acoustic and electric guitar and cover all genres from classical to rock. The music that students WANT to play is always taken into consideration, but technique and theory also play an important part in lessons to create a well rounded musician. Learn up to Grade 8 or for fun. Excellent examination results. DBS checked.
Guitar lessons are priced at £12.50 per ½ hour.
