What Our Students Say

The guys at shades are brilliant. Really friendly and approachable and totally know their stuff. Can’t recommend them enough.

I recently had my first lesson at Shades and was very impressed with the tutors knowledge and ability to put me at ease, as I was completely new.

I have started playing the guitar and been having tuition at Shades. The Staff are helpful and the tuition really good.

Paul (piano) and jack (drums) and amazing Isaac (guitar) I have 2 kids (8 & 14) and they're learning 3 instruments in total. Shades have been awesome! All the tutors are encouraging, knowledgeable, friendly. Just brilliant. Cant recommend them highly enough - and there's a performance where they show their learning. Shades are brilliant!!! Thank you 🌞👍

Liz is my singing teacher at Shades and she is teaching me things about my voice I never knew! I started lessons so I could sing at my own wedding but 8 months on I'm still here, enjoying every moment & unlocking new capabilities with my voice.

My daughter has been having lessons with Iain since she was six. He is a great teacher - he has high expectations of students but makes lessons fun. His ability to play what seems like any piece from any genre from memory always amazes me too.

Absolutely fantastic, easy to organise. Jake is our piano teacher, he's wonderful and extremely approachable with my young child. Highly recommend him

My daughter and son takes piano and guitar lessons at Shades Music. It’s a highly supportive and consistently positive learning environment. I would definitely recommend it!

I really enjoy my Piano lessons at Shades with Paul, which are professional, but also chilled out 😊 the organisational side makes arranging and rearranging lessons very simple 👍
