Why come to Rhythm Shack..?

Many of my students start with one thing, usually either guitar or vocals, and move on to something else. Often eventually covering far more than they would have anticipated if working alone or relying on YouTube.

My expectations for what my students can acheive is usually way higher than they can imagine at first, but as their confidence grows they start to realise I can help them to acheive their dreams (as long as their dream is becoming a singer/songwriter, performer and recording artist… 😂)

And it all happens under one roof. No need to travel to find different tutors. Even the recording happens right here.

I suggest you try out Rhythm Shack for a few weeks on a pay as you go basis.  Make sure we’re a good fit.

Then you have the option to go onto the monthly package. The monthly payment offers exceptional value as it includes;

  • No cancellation fees…!

  • Home Study Options (various options when you’re away or busy, your lesson still gets done, but at your convenience)

You get the whole package for just £125 per month.

Rhythm Shack was formed in 2009. So you can be fairly confident it works, and will work fo you…
