All the staff are lovely and the singing tutors are very experienced. They really know how to teach and progress vocal skills through lessons that are great value, enjoyable and rewarding. Their annual Box Fest is a fun event to either participate in or enjoy watching. The Musical Box premises are easy to drive to and park at, and there’s a comfortable waiting room. We would highly recommend The Musical Box as a great place to learn singing.

5/5 Stars – Exceptional Drum Lessons with Zac at TMB! My daughter has been taking drum lessons with Zac at TMB since 2021. She’s now 11 years old and is currently working towards her Grade 8 drums exam – a huge achievement that speaks volumes about the quality of teaching here. Zac is an absolutely amazing and inspiring teacher who truly goes above and beyond for his students. He makes every lesson engaging, supportive, and fun, while pushing her to reach new heights in her playing. As Sophia would say, he’s simply the best! We absolutely love TMB as a whole – the school is clearly passionate about music, creating a positive and motivating environment that keeps kids and adults excited about learning and progressing. Highly recommend Zac and TMB to anyone looking for outstanding drum/music lessons. Thank you for everything! 🎶🥁

I first came to TMB in Jan 25 for piano lessons with Piano Teacher Lorna Keene. And how lovely and patient she is! Although I’ve been a keen hobby musician for years, I definitely needed help to hone my keyboard skills, and with Lorna I’ve improved a thousand fold. ☺️ So good was my experience, I decided to have vocal coaching with vocal coach James Allen. James has been brilliant in helping me to switch from singing choir music to contemporary style – the difference between where I was, and where I am now is night and day. 😀 Thanks so much to Lorna and James, and everyone at TMB. Love what you do, and how you do it!! 🤩🌟

If you want to learn contemporary musical instruments, The Musical Box is the original and best music school around. They take music tuition to another level, with additional musicianship classes. Thanks to The Musical Box (Paula, Tim and Lorna). 👍🎹

Noah started drum lessons at the musical box in year 5 .Although I was apprehensive at first and thought it would be a fad Noah has thrived and continues to enjoy his lessons many years later. He is now in 6th form and is currently studying for his Grade 8. Gareth is a great mentor ,friend & teacher and Noah looks forward to his lessons every week . Noah also has developed a life skill and confidence and an appreciation of music which he often uses to destress . I don’t need to remind him to practice on the contrary I have to remind him that the neighbours may still be asleep 😀. I recommend the musical box for making music fun and giving my child a passion.

The most wonderful place to learn to play music, with the most friendly and engaging teachers. Over the last 10 years, my son, my wife and I have all come to know TMB very well. You will not find a better place to learn whether starting anew young or old, or brushing up existing skills. My son has gone on to be offered a place at Leeds Conservatoire thanks to Tim’s wonderful tuition. My wife and I have joined bands and found ourselves doing what we’d always wanted to do: play live music with other musicians. Tim, Paula, Lorna and all the staff at TMB are simply wonderful, as is the whole establishment. It is a rare place that will not just teach you the skills you always wish you could have in the most friendly and engaging way, but quietly instil in you the confidence to go and do with those skills whatever you want. TMB is it. “The tempo is whatever I say it is” – TH.

I just wanted to say a big thanks to James and Gareth tonight. We don’t often get to speak for long as the next lessons are about to start, so I wanted to let them know that the boys had such a good lesson this evening. Something has clicked and the boys both came home buzzing about learning their instruments. We are really pleased we chose TMB.

The Musical Box is an excellent establishment which has served us well over the past three years. Gareth is an inspirational drum teacher and has guided my Daughter from timid novice to Animal from the Muppets! If you are pondering whether to try out an instrument, I can’t think of a better place to start!

My 8 year old daughter has had keyboard lessons with Lorna at Music Box and has thoroughly enjoyed them. Lorna is a fantastic teacher and her kindness, patience and warmth has made the experience joyful. I would like to wish Lorna continued success and happiness in the future and thank her for being the wonderful person she is.

Max absolutely loves his lessons and we are delighted to have finally found a hobby that he has really stuck at. It is fabulous seeing my slightly ‘nerdy’ child developing a really cool streak! The Musical Box listen to me, are very flexible and treat each child individually. Tuition is very much focused on what my children want to achieve, not just going through the motions or ticking boxes.
