MUSICAL INSTRUMENT and SINGING TUITION - is offered to beginners and advanced students (children & adults) who wish to benefit from the experience and holistic approach of a SÓ teacher. Regular performance and examination opportunities are available and encouraged where they suit the wishes of students and parents.

DALCROZE EURHYTHMICS - is a structured and fun approach to learning consisting of Rhythmics, Improvisation and Solfa. Rhythmics and Improvisation (particularly suited to children) is a creative and exciting exploration of musical elements and skills such as form, rhythm, style, shape and coordination through interaction, improvisation and expressive movement, and is beneficial to all music students and dancers particularly.

KODALY MUSICIANSHIP - (Solfa) is a progressive and animated method of developing aural fluency and reflex response to pitch and tonality through the use of hand signs and the voice. Classes are beneficial to all music students (children and adults) of all abilities, and classes can be taken separately from Dalcroze Eurythmics.

ALEXANDER TECHNIQUE - is favoured by performing artists and taught in all major music and drama colleges, and is a way of cultivating refined self-awareness, ease and lightness of movement, better coordination and poise: Alexander Technique sessions are an ideal complement to the SÓ approach.

THEORY at SÓ - develops fluency and understanding of musical notation, grammar and language at all levels.

CHAMBER MUSIC & CHAMBER CHOIR - is an opportunity to enjoy music making as a social, interactive and shared activity, to get to know a wealth of music repertoire otherwise untapped and hone listening and coordination skills. Chamber Music is available for children and adults and is grouped by matching abilities.

ART at SÓ - takes the form of group workshops suitable for children and adults of all abilities who are interested in a range of expressive modes and in the relationship between movement, creativity and expression. A variety of styles will be explored including figurative, sculptural and experimental.

SÓ PROGRAMMES - are for those wishing to benefit from the study of three or more subjects. For example: Musical Instrument Tuition + Dalcroze Eurythmics (including Kodaly) + Chamber Music – and are particularly suited to children including beginners wanting a thorough, structured and timetabled approach.

CHAMBER MUSIC COURSES (2 day) - intensive chamber music programmes for students and amateur adults (minimum standard grade 5 or equivalent) who wish to benefit from coaching with an established and experienced musician through playing their own choice of music where practical, and give a final recital for invited friends and family. Suitable for individuals who wish to be introduced to other musicians or for groups already formed.

PIANO CATS - A weekly piano workshop for beginners aged 4-7yrs where the emphasis is on having fun!
