Membership Costs

The annual fees are currently £300 p.a. or if joining part way through the year pro-rata at £10 per class. We have 3 x 10 week terms per year. If you are interested in playing with us please get in contact!


Playing Level and Style

We have classical players and acoustic players, nylon and steel string, good sight-readers and not-so-good sight-readers who like to to use tab when possible. The 'level' in ABRSM terms is probably 3-8, so pretty wide.
We play predominantly classical pieces with some more jazzy, bluesy and folksy numbers.

Term Dates

Roughly correspond to school term dates, except only 10 weeks. Email for details.
