Students often stay with the school for years, which is a direct reflection of the caring environment and strong teaching relationships formed throughout their musical journey.
As the school expanded, so did the team, with experienced tutors specialising in piano, guitar, drums, ukulele, vocal coaching, keyboard, and bass guitar.
