About Us
The School
We are based at the old dentists on 6 Roxburgh Street in Galashiels. We have converted the surgeries into classrooms. If you are interested in what we are doing, then come by during our working hours. We would be happy to give you a tour.
Fit for purpose
There are classrooms for each of the disciplines we teach; a drum room, guitar room, piano room and vocal room. We take advantage of having all of the instruments in one building, for example, from time to time piano students can experiment with the drum kit to hone their rhythm skills and drum students can head to the piano room to understand harmony.
