A brand new music school for mid-Sussex offering group lessons in keyboard and guitar for children and adults. If you want to learn classical music, practise scales and take exams you’re in the wrong place! But if you want your child to have fun learning to play the songs he or she wants to play then Ariel Music School is for you!
 

How it works

If you want to learn the keyboard, in groups of no more than eight, you will have a weekly lesson of 50 minutes. All pupils will be grouped according to ability, but will all get individual instruction appropriate to their individual needs. All keyboards, stands, stools, and pedals will be provided – all we ask is that you leave everything behind when you go!

Using “midi” technology, you will be taught either the melody, the bass line, the accompaniment, or any combination of these. The midi file will play all the other parts, and together with this backing you will be able to play a complete piece. Gradually, the more proficient you become the more tracks get deleted from the midi file, until eventually you play the whole tune un aided.

And because you will be able to play complete songs relatively quickly, there’s no chance of getting bored!

If you want to learn the electric guitar, you will be in groups of no more than eight pupils per tutor. You will be taught either rhythm guitar (chords) or lead guitar, or a combination of the two, and all songs will be played to full backing tracks. And because the backing tracks can be slowed down or speeded up, you can learn at your own pace, and have time to get your fingers round those complicated chord shapes!

All equipment will be provided, or you can bring your own guitar – whichever you prefer

When

Lessons will last for 50 minutes and will take place on Saturday afternoons at Oakmeeds School in Burgess Hill. You will grouped by age and experience, and your lessons will start at 2pm, 3pm or 4pm. The lessons are just £10 per week, with a discount of 10% for a second child from the same family or if you are a student at

Ariel Drama Plus.
