What will work best for you?
We want to make music accessible for everyone and to do this we run our lessons alongside the school terms. We find this works well for a number of reasons…
Schedules are tricky to keep to at the best of times. When you add in extra-curricular activities it’s good to know they’re at the same time each week.
The school holidays provide a good chance for a bit of downtime to recharge the batteries. This also gives us a good chance to catch up on any lessons that may have been missed during the terms.
Having structured terms is really useful for setting goals and targets, which we feel is important when learning anything new. For example… “I’m going to nail that Phil Collins drum intro by the end of term, what’s it called?… you know the one, with the Gorilla on the advert?”
Pricing Structure
Lessons are delivered in courses following the school terms. Each half term is billed separately in advance.
Students can choose from the following 3 options for a course of lessons:
5 hr course– 1 hr sessions booked weekly or
flexibly within the half term (£44 per hour billed at £220 per half term)

Kind words from our current students...

Guitar
I’ve really enjoyed my lessons since I had the freedom to choose the type of music that I want to play and learning how to play those songs.

Drums
I began taking drum lessons at Bell in November 2018 under the expert tuition of Lauren Kosty. Lauren continually provided new and challenging exercises over a range of musical styles. This was exactly what I was looking for and at a pace that I was happy and comfortable with. All this was done in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere but with great emphasis on the solid technique required to become a good drummer.
Now just 2 and a half years later I’m studying for my grade 7 exam which is a testament to the fantastic teaching and enthusiasm as well as the great practice facilities at Bell.
