MUSIC LESSON REVIEWS
"My son has been attending Pro Music's Kids Music Lessons for 2 years, and I can honestly say I would not go anywhere else. The tutors are fantastic, especially Tom. If you are trying to get your kids off the consoles and into another positive interest, this is the place to go; they do a huge range of instruments, so you will find something they are into. I also know older teens and adults who go to Pro Music for various things, including singing lessons, and the feedback is excellent. I would highly recommend it to anyone!
Emma Rushton
"Wow, this music school is fantastic. My son has been having drum lessons with Andy, and I have to say he is amazing, so friendly, professional, and very patient. He's more like family because he has made my son feel relaxed and brought him out of his shell. All through lockdown, he has continued to give him advice and carry on with his music lessons online, and he has just taken his grade 3.
Karen Winmill
"My children have lessons with Tom and Robin for piano lessons and Andy for bass guitar lessons, and they all REALLY enjoy their lessons. The teachers have a love for their music, they tailor their lessons for the children, they treat them as intelligent human beings, and they are also very helpful and informative to parents. I cannot praise them enough :-)"
Rachel Cunningham-Day
"Laura, who is the piano teacher at Pro Music, Cradley Heath, is amazing. My daughter had started taking piano lessons last September, and what a success that has been. My Daughter, who is 4 years old, has learned so much. Laura not only teaches the child to play the piano, but the way she teaches it is amazing. Her lessons are engaging and playful enough for a child that they remember and learn, and are built from there. Would highly recommend her."
Sabeen Khalid
"My daughter has been having kids' music lessons here now for over a year. It's a great music school. Leeming is her teacher, and she is just fantastic, so friendly and helpful. The lessons are always fun, and she always keeps herself engaged. She's always willing to accommodate wherever she can. My daughter started as a beginner, and she has gone from strength to strength. She looks forward to her music lesson every week. I would highly recommend it to anyone!"
Louise Mills
"My daughter has been having keyboard lessons for a year now. In this time, I have seen her grow greatly in confidence and ability. Leeming has been wonderful in supporting her and teaching her. Would 100% recommend Pro Music and Leeming to anybody who wants to learn to play the keyboard!
Faye Darby
"Li Ming. The piano teacher is a wonderful, kind kids' music teacher. My son loves going to class and gets fully engaged, he loves practising new pieces and (if he could) would be learning all day."
Darren Cowley
"My son and daughter have both had kids' music lessons at ProMusic for about 3 years now, and both have come on leaps and bounds! My daughter recently did her grade 2 piano with Leeming Hoey and got a Merit! She loves her piano lessons with Lee; she's so friendly and encouraging and has built up a great relationship with my daughter. My daughter enjoys coming to her lessons.
My son has guitar lessons with Dave Phillips, and he's about to do his grade 2 exam too. His confidence has grown massively, as well as his willingness to practice at home, something we've always struggled with. He's even recently joined a guitar ensemble at school. Both teachers are great, and I'm a very proud mum that both are doing so well"

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do I need an instrument?
No, we can provide everything for the lessons and resources for learning.
Is first music lesson is free?
Yes, the first lesson is free for children under 15. We extend this so pupils can also try a taster in each instrument.
Do pupils learn to read music?
Yes, all lessons incorporate music theory. We teach our pupils note values, how to read music, scales, and how to approach sight-reading. It is important to know how to practice effectively. Tutors will also demonstrate what websites to use to brush up and improve on your music theory reading.
We can begin with adults who are novices, or we can take over from other existing teachers or music schools. We can start gradings or leisure play; Pro Music is very flexible with the times. We have many slots to suit adults who work shifts, work at home, or even 9-to-5.
What are the benefits of music lessons for kids?
Builds language skills.
Many studies have shown that children who learn to play an instrument, become accustomed to various sounds that they would not have acknowledged before. This practice teaches their ears the subtle sounds of language.
It makes them academically stronger.
Links have been found between music lessons and nearly every measure of academic achievement: SAT scores, reading comprehension, and math skills. Music also improves their powers of recall for powerful learning in all subjects.
IQ increase.
Numerous studies have proven that children’s IQs improve because of even a few weeks of music lessons. Brain scan technology indicates that brain activity improves following musical training, and some parts of the brain show greater plasticity.
It teaches discipline.
Music lessons require hours of concentration and patience. Children must persist even when things aren’t going well…an invaluable skill for all areas of life.
It supports muscle development and motor skills.
Children must use their entire bodies to maintain the rhythm when they play. They also must coordinate various movements with their hands at the same time. In doing so, they develop strength and coordination.
It improves social skills.
If children play in a group, they have to learn to work together to achieve a shared goal, exercising tolerance, patience, and encouragement towards their peers.
It makes kids feel good about themselves.
There’s nothing quite like the sense of pride that comes from working on a new skill, especially when the result is beautiful music.
It improves cultural awareness.
By learning music from various parts of the globe, students come to understand these cultures.
It brings happiness & joy.
And the most important reason of all. When children can play music, it makes them happy and everyone else too.
Can I learn to play an instrument within a band setting?
At PRO Music School we're passionate about fostering musical growth in a collaborative environment. We offer exciting opportunities for children of all ages and skill levels to learn and play instruments within a band setting. Our band nights are tailored to provide a dynamic platform where students can develop their musical abilities while enjoying the camaraderie of playing alongside others, offering a unique and enriching experience.
For more information on our upcoming band nights and how to get involved, please don't hesitate to email us at Pro Music.
Can parents stay with their children?
PRO Music School warmly welcomes parents to stay and observe during their child's music lessons. We understand the importance of parental involvement and encourage it to enhance the learning experience for both the child and the family.
Rest assured, all our tutors undergo rigorous background checks, including Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks, ensuring a safe and secure learning environment for your child. Additionally, we provide safeguarding materials on-site for parents to peruse, offering further peace of mind.
What happens if myself or my children can’t attend a lesson?
We understand that sometimes unexpected circumstances arise, preventing you or your children from attending a scheduled lesson. Not to worry, simply reach out to Pro Music either via email or phone at 0121 559 3355 to inform us of the situation, and we'll be happy to assist you in rescheduling the session. To ensure smooth coordination and accommodate other students, we kindly request a minimum of 24 hours notice. This allows us to effectively manage our timetable and ensure that everyone receives the attention they deserve.
Your cooperation in providing advance notice is greatly appreciated as it enables us to maintain the high standard of service we strive for at Pro Music.
Will it help if I already play another instrument?
Yes, it will definitely help. A second instrument is always welcomed here at Pro Music some peoples even take 2 to 3 instruments per week. We can also discount when pupils want to take another instrument. Please give Pro Music a call we can give you advice on which to pick.
For example, playing the piano and then learning to play the steel pans would be an easy transition. Same with electric guitar to bass guitar.
Do you have parking?
Yes, we're pleased to offer complimentary parking facilities at each of our locations.
Is there disabled access at your sites?
We have ground floors in all music schools, wheelchair friendly.
