My 6 year old has just started online drum lessons. He had a taster lesson before joining up and all contact with the school has been nothing but friendly and there is no pressure to sign up. The lessons and tutor have been amazing, i thought the initial lessons may have been a bit boring to learn the basics and thought my son might have lost interest but a few months in and glad to report the opposite. The lessons are fun and engaging and my son looks forward to each one. (He has told my wife and I that we aren't allowed to cut his hair anymore so he can be a rock drummer just like his tutor

Both my children have been attending Allstars Rockschool for over 5 years. Connie and the tutors are warm, fun and welcoming and the lessons are varied. I've even started having lessons myself. Highly recommended!

Couldn't recommend this music school highly enough. They've been running for years and it's easy to see why. It's a great place to go, with lovely young teachers that the children really look up to. Always very helpful and nothing is too much trouble. Each child shares their teacher with just one other child, which is great value compared to cheap options in groups when the teacher can't really help anybody. Everyone plays as a band at the end of every lesson which is brilliant to watch and sounds brilliant too.
