BOOKS          

We believe in the value of high quality music books, instead of handing out photocopies.

Course books are included as part of your lesson fees.

These books are an investment in your learning to use in lessons and home practice.

Books are assigned to you based on your skill level and individual goals.

Grade books give you the tools to level up your skills, from beginner (Debut / Initial) to professional (Grade 8).

We will also work on a range of books focusing on technical skills, musical skills and stylistic studies.
