What We Do

Our aim is to take music out into our whole community for everyone to enjoy.

COMMUNITY MUSIC

MUSIC THEORY 

MUSIC PARTIES

Music and Me has been enriching the Wargrave community since 2010 by offering subsidised music and theory lessons, community support, and fun music activities. Our enthusiastic and highly talented music teachers visit numerous local venues, engaging with adults and children of all ages and abilities, including hospitals, hospices, care homes, community centres, children services, and local schools. Entirely supported by local fundraising, we are immensely grateful for donations and the generosity of sponsors. In care facilities, we provide interactive sessions where participants can try various musical instruments, bringing the joy of music into their lives. For more information or to see how we can support your facility or community group, please contact us today.

Private Lessons

Music and Me offers 1-2-1 piano lessons and music theory for adults and children of all experience levels, including those returning to piano after many years.

 

For adults, we tailor lessons to teach pieces of your choice or introduce new genres, helping you improve sight-reading skills and regain musical abilities you may have thought lost. Whether learning a piece for a special event or an anniversary, we can help.

 

For young beginners, our lessons are fun, varied, and educational, featuring musical-themed quizzes, treasure hunts, bake-offs, after-school workshops, flash-card games, and composing their own pieces.

 

Lessons are designed to be enjoyable and age-appropriate, with opportunities to try new instruments like the Ukulele and Steel Pan Drums. We aim to offer affordable music tuition through young musician bursaries, subsidised fees, group lessons, and private 1-2-1 tuition.

 

Fees for regular, weekly 1-2-1 lessons are spread into 12 interest-free monthly payments from August 1st to July 1st, with a school term's notice required to cancel except in exceptional circumstances.

 

Children's lessons (Grades 0-3) are 30 minutes long, including progress updates for parents/carers, and follow the state school terms.

 

Adult lessons (or Grades 4+) are generally 40 minutes long and paid per session. For the latest prices, please contact us.

 

To secure a recently confirmed place, a £25.00 deposit is required within 7 days, which also covers music books and a starter pack. Visit our FAQ page for more payment information.

 

About Us:

Music and Me was founded by Kirsty Andrew in 2010 with the mission of offering the very best music tuition in Wargrave, ensuring that affordability does not become a barrier to developing and supporting musical talent. Over the years, Music and Me has proudly provided over 16,500 subsidised music lessons and has financially supported local musicians and bands with tuition, studio time, and rehearsal space. In 2016, Kirsty also founded Wargrave's local Community Choir and has ambitious plans to expand the reach of Music and Me by growing the Young Musician's Bursary fund through events like the 1000 Voices festival and other initiatives.

 

Tutors: Our team includes exceptional young musicians who are invited to gain valuable music teaching experience alongside our expert tutors. This experience helps them support applications for further study, music diplomas, and their chosen career paths.

 

Bursary:   We receive applications for our Young Musician's Bursary from a variety of sources, including Wokingham Social Care Services, local schools, music teachers, and directly from parents or carers. For more information about our services, please see our FAQs or Contact Us today.
