Max absolutely loves his lessons and we are delighted to have finally found a hobby that he has really stuck at. It is fabulous seeing my slightly 'nerdy' child developing a really cool streak! The Musical Box listen to me, are very flexible and treat each child individually. Tuition is very much focused on what my children want to achieve, not just going through the motions or ticking boxes.
We firmly believe that music lessons can (and should) be fun! We encourage our students to learn songs that they love and want to learn. We'll break down the parts into bite sized chunks, along with any specific techniques needed. If we're working on a specific technique, we'll even suggest cool songs or parts that will help accelerate the learning process.

We're proud to say that we are one of the longest standing independent music schools in the country. Now in our sixteenth year we've come a long way since our humble beginnings with one room, one man and a drumkit! Now we have 13 teachers, two studios, 9 rooms and have taught well over 1200 students at our studnets.
Our drum lessons are taught in our comfortable soundproofed studios and all drum studios have 2 kits, so that when you come to your lesson, you have a kit to yourself (no swapping around on drum stools). All lessons are one-to-one and parents of younger students are welcome to either sit in (bring ear plugs), relax in the waiting room or come back and collect at the end of the lesson.
Our piano and keyboard lessons are taught in our comfortable soundproofed studios, with a range of keyboards to play. All lessons are one-to-one and parents of younger students are welcome to either sit in (bring ear plugs), relax in the waiting room or come back and collect at the end of the lesson.
We believe that playing in a band is an incredibly rewarding experience. It's a way of making life-long friends, experiencing the buzz of playing live, meeting new people and it's also a fantastic way of honing your playing skills. That's why we hold weekly band days and a variety of other workshops where players (young and old) can refine their muso "life skills".
As an addition to lessons at TMB we offer informative and fun group Masterclasses. This is where a group of 5 or 6 students come to the studio for a 2 hour session with an experienced musician/ teacher. We aim to get everyone involved and have a blast showing you all the things that make music great and letting you have a go!

The Musical Box is a fantastic, fun place to study music. Tim and the team are dedicated people who are passionate about what they do. Charlie is now working toward his Grade 4 Drum exam and has thoroughly enjoyed his time with them especially performing in the summer concerts held each year which are great fun for all the family.
Here is a place to learn music which offers a young, vibrant approach, I recommend one hundred per cent.

My son Jasper has been taking Rock Drum lessons at the Musical Box for a little over two years and I have to say (as a drummer myself) they are doing a great job! Jasper is confident, excited and, for a young lad, now a really excellent reading drummer. He always enjoys the lessons and almost always comes away with a great feeling of satisfaction with his progress. I recommend Tim, Paula and their team whole heartedly! James.

When I started coming to the Musical Box I thought that all the lessons would be geared toward children and set up for doing exams, but I was pleasantly surprised as all the lessons are tailored to what I want to do and the way I prefer to learn. I've now been taking bass lessons almost every week for the last three years. I find that even when I don't get time to practice, going to the lesson keeps me focussed and enjoying playing bass. Kev, my bass teacher, is patient and professional. Because he listens to what I need and is so easy to get on with, lessons have never felt like a chore and are

Brilliant music school for all ages. My sons learnt guitar, keyboard and drums over several years and I was inspired to take up guitar myself ... the inspiring teachers have proved it's never too late to learn something new! Great set up and location with plenty of parking and even room for parents to wait for their children in comfort while making themselves a cup of tea or coffee!

I highly recommend The Musical Box !!!!
A very friendly team and inspiring environment to learn a musical instrument or vocals. Over the past couple of years our son, Harry, has been having drum lessons, gaining confidence, learning new styles, techniques to use with his band and taking his Grades 6 - 8 achieving excellent results, all credit to the excellent teaching. Harry is now following his passion to hopefully pursue a career in the music industry !!
Thank you TMB !!
