Frequently Asked Questions

How much do lessons cost?

Prices vary across our different schools and courses. If you go to the specific lesson you are interested in, you'll find more information there

How often are the lessons?

Lessons are weekly and will be held at the same time every week. Your teacher will advise of the times available at the end of your free trial lesson.

Am I too old to learn?

The truth is NOBODY is too old too learn. All of our teachers teach adults – many of whom are retired people!! The minimum age for our courses may range from 4 to 8 but there’s no maximum!!

Do the Dawsons Music School courses follow an accredited syllabus?

All exams taken by students at any of our music schools are those of nationally recognised exam boards. It has also recently become the case that from grade 6 and upwards the qualifications now hold UCAS points (for university entrance). At grade 8 (practical) a result of distinction holds almost the same value as a C grade A’ level!! See table below (taken from the UCAS website):

Points shown are for ABRSM, Guildhall, LCMM, Rockschool and Trinity Guildhall advanced level music examinations
D - Distinction | M - Merit | P - Pass
