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!

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.


How does it work?

SAM has been delivering tuition for over 14 years to tens of thousands of students; it couldn’t be easier to benefit from SAM’s online music service. SAM provides all the resources to raise awareness of the lessons to parents and carers, we visit your school to deliver free instrument demonstrations in an assembly format – or give you access to our engaging pre-recorded videos. SAM encourages pupils to perform within the school and give the school access to ‘mySAM’ – our bespoke online platform. It feels just like a ‘traditional’ music service (weekly lessons, tutor assemblies, live student performances, grade exams encouraged) with all the additional online benefits. We even have access to musical instruments and accessories through our music education retail partner Ucan Play.

“SAM’s online music service works so well at our school. They perform assemblies to encourage student uptake and also provide virtual pre-recorded videos which the children love! As they deliver online tuition, there is next to no admin duties to organise the lessons for our admin staff and we still feel SAM has a presence in the school with the performances that our pupils deliver at school assemblies. Feedback from the parents has been very positive as the pupils love the lessons with the tutors and communication with their admin team is excellent, they can also pay in childcare vouchers which is helpful. We currently subsidise two of our pupils to receive lessons through Pupil Premium funding, which helps children also receive the opportunity to learn an instrument that would otherwise not be able to. We can check the progress of our pupils online with ‘mySAM’ and they take safeguarding very seriously, going to extra lengths to make the online lessons as secure as possible.”

“SAM Music Service have worked with River Beach Primary since 2017, delivering one-to-one lessons on drum kit, guitar, piano and voice. In this time, SAM has proven to be a reliable and professional music service; consistently receiving positive feedback from parents and pupils alike. Parents / guardians pay for the lessons, meaning there is no cost to the school for their service. Also, SAM manages all administrative duties, meaning there is minimal time required from our office team. They also now deliver lessons online which has been particularly useful during the pandemic allowing pupils to continue their music education, whilst also removing any burden on the school in terms of room availability, due to children receiving their lessons from home outside of school hours. Overall I have been impressed with their service, and would happily recommend them.”

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.

Recordings and reports via mySAM

Every lesson is recorded and available to stream or download for 7 days. This is a fantastic way to help with practice and use alongside the weekly (and half-termly) lesson reports written by the tutor. Within 24 hours of the lesson your tutor will complete the report, covering what was undertaken during the lesson, practice suggestions and other useful information such as books used, downloadable resources within a unique practice folder and more! All schools have access to monitor their pupils’ progress.

 

Childcare vouchers accepted

Lessons are affordably priced at £17.50 for an individual 30-minute session and are paid directly by the parents / carers, so there is no cost to the school. We offer a half-price no-commitment taster lesson for pupils to try them out first and after that, they only have to commit to a half-term at a time, to help with cash-flow. Being Ofsted registered, we also accept Childcare vouchers and payments via the government’s tax-free childcare scheme.

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.
