The people that run this company are a bunch of cowboys. Dont expect to ever get them on the phone if you need anything. I had 4 months of my children not being taught in 2019/2020 and got a bill for it over a year later threatening court action. When I called to discuss, they refused to help, saying it had to be put in a form. The teacher was rubbish, she hardly ever showed up and when she did, she was rude and abrupt with the children. I saw this with my own eyes. Dont even bother with the orchestra or "ceilidh band". Talk about cultural misappropriation, with bongos and ukulele! The "expert

Lovely staff, my daughter had lost interest a little but with a highly successful exam pass (albeit pricey) she has renewed interest. I have her tutor Miss Smith to thank for putting in the extra time to get her really ready. Keep me up to date with information about her progress each year and costs etc .
