MEET OUR TEACHERS
The people behind the music.
Our 20 specialist teachers are educated to at least music degree level, and most hold Qualified Teacher Status. Every teacher holds an enhanced DBS check. They are working musicians who have been bringing music to children across the North East since 2011.
