Instrumental and Vocal Tuition
The benefits of learning music are well documented and extend far beyond music’s unique cultural and artistic value. Taking part in music develops lifelong learning skills, promotes teamwork and brings social benefits for all those who take part. Creative work in music improves self-esteem and provides tools for increasing emotional literacy. Research shows that learning a musical instrument changes the shape and power of the brain, developing cognitive skills that can improve attainment, achievement and confidence.
Southampton Music Hub includes an experienced and diverse team of instrumental and vocal teachers. Together, we are committed to providing affordable and accessible progression routes for every child in the city to learn a range of musical instruments. Teachers are supported through robust and proactive CPD and quality assurance processes, ensuring the highest quality of musical learning and activity in every lesson: from individual lessons, through to small groups, large groups and class based lessons. We take safeguarding extremely seriously. For lessons taught by Southampton Music Services, the lead hub partner, please click here to read their safeguarding policy.
Virtual Music Lessons
With virtual music lessons, the joy of learning a musical instrument can come safely into your home. From total beginners, to experienced players, and even those a little out of practice: anyone can enjoy learning a musical instrument in a safe, virtual environment. Thanks to an experienced team of music teachers, Southampton Music Services can help you pick up a musical instrument and get playing.
Each week you will work towards goals you set together: choosing music and a journey that you may find challenging, but will enjoy along the way. Lessons last 20 minutes, and cost £95 for ten weeks. Lessons can be for individuals of any age, or groups from within a household. Families can even learn together.
With a wide range of instruments on offer (including brass, guitar, keyboard, percussion, singing, strings, ukulele, woodwind, and more) you can choose an instrument that feels right for you. With affordable instrument loans, many of these are available to borrow for just £30 a year.
