  SAMS have been great with my sons - David was so patient and kind and have given them a great basis on which to build their music skills.

  My daughter has had vocal lessons with SAM for 9 years, She is only leaving now as with thanks to the help from her tutors at SAM especially Sophie who has helped her to prepare for auditions, she is off to study musical theatre. A great company who will tailor lessons to individuals needs.

  SAM's Music Service has been fantastic. My son has been having weekly half-hour Bass lessons with David for the last two years and has gone from an absolute beginner to Grade 4! David is patient and supportive, and works hard to ensure each lesson is challenging enough to make progress, without over-reaching. It's great that the lessons are based around popular music, as it makes it a joy to listen to when he's practicing. Thanks to the team at SAM'S, but especially David, we couldn't be happier!

  A very professional service and the teachers are great. Our son has not been playing the drums for long, just since last spring, and has come a really long way. The level of instruction is very high. The lesson reports and set practice make it easier to monitor progress and know where additional effort is needed. Most importantly my son enjoys his weekly lessons.

  Both of my sons, Archie and Bailey, have been having music lessons with MySam for a good number of years now. It is a nurturing, patient, and positive company with caring, knowledgeable tutors. My sons often struggle to stay engaged with activity clubs, but they have remained committed to their music thanks to MySam. This has been especially valuable in supporting my youngest son, who faces neurodiverse challenges and is often not patient with himself. Thank you!

  SAM has been a fantastic way introduces music lessons to our neurodiverse daughter. After a busy school day, she can be in the comfort of her own home for a 1:1 session tailored to her. Her tutor is chatty, fun, patient and encouraging - always asking what music she'd like to learn, and acheiving at her own pace.  Would recommend to all parents. Having been a little anxious about online teaching - it's worked out better for us to maintain our daughters dedication to learning, and offered flexibility when we've needed to change our timeslot. Brilliant - thank you SAM!

  Learning guitar with Lou has been real positive experience for my son. He really enjoys the weekly online lesson and his guitar playing is coming along and a joy to hear. Lou is a talented tutor and the lessons are so beneficial for my son. He has a practice folder and we can listen to the recording after the lesson if needed.Thank you Lou and Rob organising the lessons at MySam.

  Absolutely brilliant music school. My daughter has learnt with them for over five years - starting on piano and now on electric guitar - and the fully online lessons work seamlessly. The teachers are lovely, highly competent, and the lessons genuinely lift her after a tough day at school. If you have any doubts about online lessons, definitely give them a try. Couldn’t recommend SAM more.

How do in-person school lessons work?

Your child will be paired with a regular tutor that delivers 30-minute weekly lessons during the school day. Typically, the tutor will collect them from their classroom and deliver the lesson in a suitable setting like a school music room. The tutor will annotate any music books they have, while also writing up what was covered in the lessons and practice notes via mySAM, our online platform. This way you can keep in the loop with what they are learning, if they need any books or grade entries, and the fun they are having in the lessons!

Safeguarding

Safeguarding is paramount to SAM and we naturally take all efforts to protect our students and tutors alike. We book sessions securely, within our unique online platform “mySAM”. Behind the scenes, all administrators use VPNs and no details are shared between the student and tutor. All of our tutors have enhanced DBS checks and carry out regular safeguarding and child protection training. SAM is GDPR compliant.
