Education

An essential part of the freelance musician’s life is in education. Our players include a number of vastly experienced educators, from one-to-one instrumental teaching to large group projects, classroom teaching and music workshop presentations in a variety of musical styles. We can create tailor-made programmes for your project, or can recommend established programmes that exist already. Recent projects include an expand-the-band at the Academy of Contemporary Music in Guildford, adding the experience of having a live horn section to student performances.

We can recommend instrumental, vocal and musicianship tutors for any instrument, age or inclination! If you require any further information, or to discuss your needs, please contact Tim on 07966 544307 or email
