Music Lessons

“Whilst retail and repairs have been core elements to Booths for over 190 years, since 2007 music lessons have become the beating heart of the business. We’re proud to have welcomed thousands of students through our doors, many of which have gone on to great things in the world of music”

"My 8 year old came in on Sunday for his first guitar lesson with James. At 12.00 he had to be told that he was holding his guitar the wrong way round and at 12.30 he came home to show his Mum he could play Jurassic World!!!! He's full of enthusiasm and cant wait for next week. Thank you."

"I think I've been going here for the best part of 10 years, and honestly I do not regret it at all. I've been taught the Drums and the Bass here by excellent teachers. The owners and the staff here are friendly, and make you feel welcome. They do good deals on gear and instruments. Would go here."

Within our purpose-built studios, more than thirty dedicated and experienced music tutors operate a busy yet versatile teaching schedule throughout the day and into the evening. Sessions are focused and the one-to-one approach ensures that our students benefit from the full attention given throughout the duration of their music lessons. Guitar, drum, woodwind, brass, piano, keyboard, vocal and singing lessons take place in our teaching studios.

Grades Through Music Lessons

A whole range of pupils benefit from the skills of our music tutors – many have progressed to success through the RSL, ABRSM, Trinity College and London College schools of music, while others are happy to enjoy the music they love to play in a relaxed environment. Many have gone onto study university degrees in music education and have had students accepted into Chetham’s School of Music. We’re proud to have been involved in a great number of students’ decision to continue music as a career choice and of course we’re always delighted to see their commercial success.

All rooms are sound insulated, spacious and equipped with a range of tuition material and accessories – every studio includes a modern Digital Piano or acoustic piano.

We are confident you will enjoy your music lessons and therefore have no long-term commitment policy. Lessons are usually paid for on a weekly basis although our Lesson Gift Packs make very popular presents for family and friends.
