My son started on-line piano lessons during Covid lock down. He has found the on-line format works well. When he wanted to start singing lessons, SAM were able to offer a teacher for this. On occasions we have asked to reschedule a lesson and this has been accommodated. The teaching is excellent and the tutors are friendly and helpful. I can highly recommend SAM Music Service.

My son has been having weekly guitar lessons for quite some time now. The tutor Peter's great and has found ways to adapt the music and slow it down when my son was struggling making it easier to learn. Also when finances were a challenge one term SAM was able to help me make an adapted payment plan so my son could maintain the lessons he loves. All round great service. 👍

My daughter has had a wonderful time learning guitar with her tutors at SAM. They went out of their way to find just the right tutor for her and she’s really loving her lessons. The office staff are always so helpful, and work with you around any unexpected events. I wish in person lessons would return but I cannot fault the way they manage things online.

I'm so delighted to have found SAM Music as it's been a wonderful experience for both my children. The teachers are so enthusiastic and make the lessons fun so my children really enjoy learning an instrument. The admin side is also very user friendly and the staff are incredibly approachable and easy to contact and speak to. I would thoroughly recommend their services.

My son has continued with his piano lessons now that he has moved on to East Sussex College, Lewes. He is studying music technology A level and finds the piano lessons extremely enjoyable and helpful with this course. SAM are always available to answer any questions or to rearrange a lesson if need be. Our overall experience with them has been amazing so far. I can’t fault them.

My daughter has been with SAM Music Service for three years and has been playing two musical instrument, piano and guitar. She enjoys the online sessions as it's easy, convenient and cut down on transportation costs. Recordings are available each week, doing them from home and through Covid without any interruptions. She has made good progress and recently formed her own band at school. She continues to make good progress and cannot speak highly enough about SAM's services which I highly recommend.

My daughter, 7 years old, started piano lessons with SAM Music on Zoom a month ago. She loved all the lessons. In a short time, she improved her piano skills and understanding of the music. Her teacher, Inna, is an excellent teacher in many ways: enthusiastic, cheerful, very approachable, organised, patient and very clear in explaining music theory. The lessons on Zoom have been very smooth without any technical issues. The communication with the managing team was very quick and smooth. We are really happy to have access to excellent music lessons at home on this fantastic platform. I am very excited to see her progress at piano and believe she will continue to enjoy it. Thanks a lot, SAM Music Service!

What is SAM and how does it work?

Established in 2008, the music service was known as the Sussex Academy of Music (SAM for short) – however, the academy started teaching further afeild and for the last few years, globally! The business now trades as SAM Music Service. 
Lessons can be carried out using any device with an internet connection and camera, such as laptops, iPads, tablets or smartphones. Simply log in and connect, it coudn’t be easier! We even offer a free pre-teaching connection call to make sure you are set up correctly and have easy access through our online platform to view your lesson recordings, reports and practice folders!

 

Rosie has had several online drumming lessons over the last few months. The online software used was easy to install and operate and worked faultlessly throughout with audio and video capability. The lesson was in Rosie’s viewpoint more focussed and faster flowing as she could see the tutor playing and also play along with the tutor. As it was from home, the playing space was comfortable mentally for her to play on which enhanced her mindset. She could see the music to play on the screen and liked the feature to see sections highlighted and annotated further by the tutor.

An excellent approach to tutoring and hasn’t detracted from lesson quality and in several ways enhanced the learning experience. Just like a normal lesson with more features.

Safeguarding is paramount to SAM and we naturally take all efforts to protect our students and tutors alike. We host sessions securely, within our unique online platform “mySAM”. Behind the scenes, each individual lesson is password protected and includes end-to-end encryption using our own servers. All administrators use VPNs and no details are shared between the student and tutor. All our lessons are recorded and available on request which is preferable for those parents unable to accompany the child in the lesson. All of our tutors have enhanced DBS checks and carry out regular safeguarding and child protection training. SAM is GDPR compliant.

We’ve got you covered! 

Provided by our partners at UCan Play, access SAM’s carefully selected, affordable range of instruments and accessories for beginners to those looking for an upgrade.

Green initiative

SAM believes that all businesses should strive to reduce their impact on the environment and fight climate change. By offering lessons online, students and tutors don’t have to travel, greatly helping towards SAM’s carbon-neutral footprint. We take every opportunity to champion this with web meetings rather than face-to-face, eco-friendly instrument suggestions and even our electricity is powered by Ecotricity, the UK’s only vegan energy company.
