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!

Our son has been having guitar lessons with SAM for years. He loves the teachers who are as inspiring as they are experts in their field. We would highly recommend SAM music lessons!

My daughter (11 years) has been having online music lessons (digital piano) with SAM for the last 9 months having previously having in-school rock band lessons. The difference has been amazing and my daughter loves the lessons and her teacher. It is convenient for us to set up the lesson at home with recordings of the lessons and materials are available online to refer back to. It is great to be able to follow what my daughter is learning and by contrast to the rock band lessons she is now learning to read music and music theory. I would highly recommend SAM online music lessons and wish we had found them sooner as the progress in 9 months has been amazing.

My 12yr old daughter has started taking guitar lessons with SAM Music earlier this year and she quite enjoys it. I was sceptical at first taking music lessons via zoom as we have taken in person lessons before. I was surprised how well this works. SAM helped with the initial set up on the laptop and the lessons are really good and she feels comfortable in her own surroundings. Her teacher Aaron is very personable and gives her good constructive feedback. We have a homework folder and live recordings on our SAM account which is really useful and I can check her progress. It's now her second term and we are really happy with the music lessons and would definitely recommend it.

After having a free taster session and being matched with a lovely tutor, My daughter has been having weekly online singing lessons for almost a year now. She is working towards her grade3 exam. She enjoys the continuity of having the same tutor every week and finds the lessons easy to access and fun. She gets great feedback and is able to listen to her lessons as they recorded. Good value for money and I can see the progression she is making as her confidence builds.

My son really enjoyed his guitar lessons online. The tutor is very nice and accommodating. There Is recording available after every lesson to download and for review. There is free tester lesson in the start, I highly recommend it to other parents. Worth trying if your child is into the music.

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

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.

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.
