I find what you want to gain from the lessons, whether it be for fun or if you want to gain qualifications like grades from the lessons and I make sure to focus on that. It is up to you!
I am a professional trombone player, busy all year round in West End shows, symphony orchestras and with major pop acts. I have two music degrees from the Royal College of Music. I live in Bromley and love to cook!
There is an extra £10 charge for travel from my home address of 30 minutes or more.
The cancellation policy is that the full fee is payable if cancellation occurs within 24 hours of the lesson. otherwise there is no charge.
Thank you!
