About us

Our goal at Tunbridge Wells School of Music is to create great musicians, and not just exam passes. We have a syllabus in place and exams are available, but we do not believe in blindly moving from grade to grade without fully understanding the instrument. Instead we focus on learning and applying music to a real life setting of performance and enjoyment.
 
Music can be a hobby for some and a career for others, but our aim is to ensure it stays a part of our students lives forever whatever their goals. Our teachers all have a wealth of experiences as professional musicians and it is our passion to share that with others.

Lessons with us are fun, engaging,
and of the highest standard

All lessons are given by professional, insured, DBS checked teachers, and are open to all ages and ability levels

Lessons can follow a structured syllabus or be tailored to the individual student’s needs

Grade exams are available to take with Rockschool, ABRSM or Trinity (TWSOM is a national exam centre for Rockschool so RS exams are held on site here)

Our main focus is fun and enjoyment while progressing in a relaxed environment to nurture and encourage a passion for music

Ample parking and a comfortable waiting area within the school.

Testimonials

The guys here are more than just music teachers – they’re friends and mentors. They helped us choose the right kit and gave Jem good advice when it came to doing drumming with groups outside the school. We can’t fault it – TWSOM is a one-off.
