Very poor administrative. Change of teachers and how this affect the students are not taken into consideration at all. They increase fees but service is very poor. Constantly having new teachers in and poor communication to parents. Would not recommend to parents sending their children there. School terminated my contract for giving my honest experience reviews online (have emails as proof from them) and now lying that I've left on my own will, breaking t&c, whereby my this year's subscription fees and teacher's fees have been retained!Very incompetent indeed.

I have been a teacher at this school since 2013 and have found the other teachers, reception staff, and the owners to be friendly and helpful. The pianos and practice rooms are kept in good condition and there is recording equipment available if the student wants to record their progress. There is great communication between students, teachers and the reception. The teachers vary in methods of teaching and the school will match students with the teacher that will encourage them the most taking into account personalities and ages of students. I love it when I see my students progress and grow

Our daughters have been have lessons at AtoG for around 8 years now and we have only positive things to say. Both piano and guitar teachers have been excellent and we'd recommend them highly.

A to G Music School has a fantastic range of instrumental and vocal teachers who are all brilliant tutors. The school offers a wide range of one-to-one lessons which are tailored to the individual, whether they are learning towards graded examinations, specific repertoire or just for fun! The facilities are great, featuring top of the range acoustic and digital instruments. The staff are helpful and friendly. I would highly recommend A to G.

Both of my children have lessons here with different teachers and different instruments (violin and guitar). The quality of the lessons is excellent, and the progress my children have made is well beyond how fast they were progressing with previous teachers elsewhere. The cost is less than what I paid for in-school lessons, and the teachers are both knowledgeable and reliable. As a veteran teacher of more than two decades myself, I can spot quality instruction. The administration staff have always been polite and professional. I would encourage any parent or adult learner seeking quality music
