January 2021
In response to the new government restrictions, we have decided that we will be moving all our ongoing music tuition and ensembles online until the end of the spring term.
While this is not an ideal situation, we are pleased that we can continue to provide high quality lessons and ensembles despite not being face-to-face. We hope that continuing lessons, courses, and ensembles in this way during the new national lockdown will provide some much-needed stability for you in ever-changing times.
During this term, we will be working hard with schools, teachers, parents, and students, as well as closely following government guidelines to ensure we can, we hope, return to teaching face-to-face lessons in the summer term.
We are still accepting students for our online offers this term, as well as looking into one-off courses and events which can be run online and in-person as the term continues. Find out more about learning with us here:

About Online Lessons
Some of you may not have had music lessons online before or might be uncertain about their benefits or how they work. Kent Music has been delivering high-quality tuition online for nearly a year now, and our teachers are experts in providing great experiences for students. Online lessons can even be more accessible for some students, removing limitations of travel and having to carry instruments with you to school!
We provide support for our teachers and students to ensure online lessons are a positive experience for everyone. We have prepared a guide for students, parents and carers having online lessons which we’d encourage you to read: Online Instrumental and Vocal Lessons: Guidance for Parents, Carers and Learners.
Here is a flavour of some of the feedback we have been receiving about our online teaching since March:
“I’ve been really pleased with how the online lessons have panned out…I feel that [my child] has still been making good progress and that the lessons have been beneficial. Her teacher…has done an amazing job of adapting her teaching to manage the challenges of online delivery. Having weekly contact has helped my daughter stay focused and kept her motivated.”
“Excellent teaching – my daughter is making wonderful progress”.
“She’s enjoyed the online lessons and said it’s as effective as sitting next to her teacher in class.”
“Just as good as an in-person lesson, sometimes better”
