To help you along the way the course will provide an opportunity for you to be taught and self discover your talent in the areas of Writing, rehearsing, recording and performing music as a soloist and in small groups.

But “Don’t worry” we start slowly and carefully.

The course begins by bringing the group of students together to discuss ambitions for each individual both in terms of musical aims and career aspirations. We begin the creation of your individual learning plan that you own and records your progress.

Individually and in very small groups we discuss your level of playing ability at the moment. This will ensure we can tailor tuition and exercises to suit your needs.

We plan the end of course project and work towards this from day one. What this is, is up to you and the group.

With expert tutors we improve your practical playing ability through group tuition, rehearsal and music theory sessions.

It will give you an insight and some experience of the music industry in general and offer you some advice and guidance on self publicity and promotion.

It is one of the most essential sector support groups in Somerset as we have a lot of arts, culture and creativity here and I support all their work now and in the future.
