My son has drum lessons with SAM and their excellent teacher Rufus and he loves it! They are so brilliant and he's developed lots in just one term. They are great.

SAM Music Service is amazing. We cannot thank them enough. The staff are lovely and every teacher has inspired and supported our son. Aaron is brilliant and continues to nurture our son's love of music. He has been enabled to thrive by choosing his own music, playing by ear, switching between piano, guitar and voice - the list is endless. The lessons have been a lifeline for us throughout lockdown and beyond. Thank you for everything.

My daughter has been having guitar lessons with SAM for 5 years and has really enjoyed it. The teachers are lovely and the organisational staff really helpful and do all they can to accommodate any changes due to school events. They worked hard to set up online teaching during lockdown and really have been great to deal with. Thank you SAM.

Both my daughters had SAM piano lessons in school and when it moved online it was a great deal of continuity. I am very happy with their progress and also with the way the lessons are set up and organised. Having this online at home and being able to support the learning as a parent is very helpful for everyone involved. Aaron is a great teacher and always finds fun ways to encourage the student if something does not work as they expected. Thank you!

Mitch really enjoys his guitar lessons. Aaron is very patient with him and has a great sense of humour, using praise and encouragement to help Mitch up his game. He's given the chance to work towards gradings and also to do some pieces that are more fun and to learn more styles and approaches. Highly recommended.

SAM music service is brilliant. My son has made huge progress since starting his weekly guitar lessons about 18 months ago, he's passed both Grades 1 and 2 with a distinction and he's not far off completing Grade 3. Aaron his teacher is fantastic. He is encouraging and supportive and tailors his tuition to my son's needs and his musical tastes. His confidence and ability has come on leaps and bounds thanks to Aaron's tuition. The whole service works seamlessly - I would highly recommend!

I can’t recommend highly enough! My son started zoom drum lessons with Pete in lockdown, and he’s about to take his Grade Two exam. He absolutely loves his lessons, and is enthusiastic and inspired enough to practise regularly. Pete is just brilliant - he gives my son so much confidence and encouragement.

William is really enjoying his lessons with Pete. It is really lovely to see his drumming improving and his confidence in his ability grow. Learning the drums has also grown Williams interest in music generally, which is great to see. Pete is a very amiable teacher, always cheerful and always aiming to make the lessons fun. To quote William, "the lessons are amazing, one of the best things I've done."

My son started drum lessons with Pete a while ago now. He is now sounding good and he is much more confident and enthusiastic. I like the fact he has a skill he's proud of. He likes Pete and says he's a good teacher. That's good enough for me! Thanks, Pete!

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!
