Claire Weston-Shaw

We are proud to be able to offer our students a fun loving and relaxed studio environment in which to learn. Although we teach from our home we have two purpose built studios one for guitar and one for piano. We can also provide a larger teaching room that can be used as a third one on one studio or for musical teaching groups and rehearsals.

We offer teaching in a wide range of musical styles with each of our teachers having their own areas of specialization and their own preferred musical styles to work in. Claire has a long history of working in the Classical and jazz styles, Emily has a deep love of classical piano, and Steve as a guitarist and bass player enjoys, Rock, Funk, Jazz and everything in-between.

We offer a wide range of choices for progression through graded music examinations, with the London College of Music, ABRSM and Rock school. We have achieved a high level of success with our students, the vast majority achieving merits and distinctions in their chosen instruments.

We feel that a major aspect of any musicians growth is through performance. We try to actively encourage and provide performance opportunities for all of our students. We hold an annual concert every year (covid permitting) which we encourage all of our students to take part in, we also like to provide other video and live performance opportunities throughout the year.

We foster good relationships with local performance specialist schools. We have helped students with auditions for the Brit School and provided advice and support for students who are working on GCSE and A level music exams.
