Learning music

The Maestro Online offers an extensive range of music masterclasses in all styles, online courses and Ofqual-accredited pop piano exams for musicians.

Music courses

These courses utilise well-known songs, across a range of genres, to impart essential musical skills. The emphasis is on playing with greater musicality and improvisational freedom. Being a slave to the dots is no longer the only path to musical fulfillment, but rather dots provide the inspiration for bringing music to life. Courses include piano, organ, singing, and guitar.
