CRASH COURSES

What is a crash course?

Our crash courses are intensive personalised programs that enable you to make fast progress. You'll learn through a mix of one-to-one tuition and band practice time, where you'll have the freedom to try new techniques and develop your skills further. We'll tailor your course to your individual needs, goals and level - whether you're a beginner or more advanced student looking to improve specific musical skills. 

We offer crash courses in drums, guitar, piano, bass, singing, trumpet, saxophone, songwriting or music production. You can take a crash course in just one instrument or a couple of instruments - we'll create a fully customised course for you.

All crash courses include 8 x 50 minute music lessons and two free band practices.
​Prices start from £360 for an intensive week course. You'll also benefit from reduced rates for solo practice time.

What will my crash course timetable look like?

We'll structure your crash course in the way that works best for you. It entirely depends on how much time you have available, how many instruments you want focus on and your personal learning style.

Here's an example crash course timetable for Jenny Jones, who wants to improve her drumming, singing and music production skills.

FAQs

How many lessons can I have in one day? Will all of my lessons be on consecutive days?

There's no maximum number of lessons you can have per day, but we'd recommend no more than two or three so you don't lose your focus. We can arrange your crash course in whichever way suits you best - if you only have a week available and you want to come in for lessons every day, that's absolutely fine. If you'd rather space out your lessons over a longer period of time, that works too. 

I want to do a crash course in two instruments, but I'm advanced in one and a beginner in the other. Is this a problem?

Not at all! Our crash courses are suitable for students of any level. You'll have separate lessons for each instrument, so don't worry if you're not at the same level in all the instruments you want to learn.

When can I start my crash course?

You can start at any time - we don't follow any school term dates. We're open for lessons Monday to Friday from 2pm to 10pm and Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 6pm.

Do I need to come in for an initial taster lesson?

If you live far away or you're visiting from overseas for your crash course, don't worry. You don't need to come for a taster lesson, but we do recommend it if you can. We'll talk about your needs and goals, and how you want to structure your crash course. However we can do this over the phone.
