My daughter has been taking online lessons from SMARTS for almost two years now as we live 2 hours south of London. Joel has been a great teacher for her, as hes always on time, extremely reasonable and she really enjoys learning new songs.
Steve and his staff have been great to deal with even though we have never met in person!! Would highly recommend SMARTS for anyone wanting to take music lessons.

Thankful for the option to learn online! It's helped my daughter keep going with her guitar lessons when we are out of town, and even more so during the pandemic. Using Zoom is easy, and without the option, she may have lost interest in music entirely. Steve is great to deal with, and Joel is an excellent teacher. My daughter gets to learn songs she likes, and he makes the lessons fun! Online lessons aren't perfect, however being able to maintain a routine, and being able to continue doing something she enjoys during this time has been so important for my daughter's mental well-being. I highly

I had a decent amount of singing lessons at SMArts and I really did enjoy all of them!! I was definitely nervous in the beginning but the environment there helps to calm your nerves. Everyone is so nice and welcoming! I've learned a lot and now that things are opening up again I cant wait to continue my vocal coaching ! I recommend this school to anyone :)

I started guitar lessons at SMARTS over 3 years ago. I was nervous to try to learn an instrument as an adult ( well into my 30s) with no previous experience or musical training but my teacher, Andrew, did an amazing job at helping me understand the basics and work my way up to more advanced lessons. For me it was learning a new skill and challenging myself on a daily basis that lead me to learning guitar. All the staff at SMARTS played a part in my learning from the friendly greetings and encouragement from Steve and Andrew to the easy to use online portal resource. I am happy to say I can play
