Songwriting lessons and camps for children:
Our songwriting students will explore the fundamental components of songwriting: rhythm, rhyme, song structure, lyrics, and melody etc through an analysis of current pop songs and familiar tunes.

Music Theory
Individual or Group
We prepare our students for their ABRSM graded theory exams in a fun, practical and systematic manner. We also encourage our students to apply their music theory through whole body movement in order to internalise what they've learnt in music theory and make them a better musician, rather than rote learning for an exam.
