Two Ways to Learn Guitar
Choose the format that best fits your experience, schedule and the way you would like music to become part of your life.
Individual Lessons
A personalised path shaped around your experience, musical interests, goals and schedule.
Choose your teacher and an available appointment through our online calendar. Suitable for complete beginners, returning players and experienced musicians looking for greater flexibility or depth.
One-off lesson £100 · Ongoing options from £85
Group Lessons
A structured and social programme for complete beginners and early-stage players who want to learn through making music with others.
Begin with a Discovery Class, then continue in a weekly 12-week programme with up to four students if the group format feels right.
Discovery Class £45 · Full term £531, paid in 3 instalments of £177
One Shared Musical Approach
Whether you choose individual or group lessons, guitar is taught as a way to understand, enjoy and express music, not simply as a collection of techniques.
Lessons are active and interactive. You make music with your teacher or other students, develop your ear and explore songs, instrumental pieces, rhythm, melody, harmony, improvisation and creativity.
Our teachers draw from rock, pop, folk, soul, jazz, blues, latin music and more. Rather than separating music into rigid boxes, we explore the language and connections that run through different styles.
Both paths welcome you into the wider TSS community, with opportunities to join student concerts, band collaborations, jams, workshops and events as your musical journey develops.
● Active Music-Making
Learn through listening, responding and playing with others.
● Music Without Boundaries
Explore different genres while understanding what connects them.
● Creative Understanding
Develop your ear, musical knowledge and freedom to express ideas.
● Community & Experience
Join student concerts, band collaborations, workshops and community events.

A new chapter
through Music.

“It’s the next chapter of my life, and I’m absolutely loving every moment of it.”
