If you want to get into music, there’s no place quite like London. The city doesn’t just have history—it’s got energy. Orchestras, live shows around every corner, buskers in the Underground, and even your neighbour’s friend who plays jazz at a pub. No matter your age or experience, London sets the stage for musical adventure. The trick is finding the right school to help you actually start.
So, how do you pick the right spot? You’ll see a lot of music schools in London. And honestly, when you want teachers who genuinely know what they’re doing, plus a place that feels professional without being stiff, Excelsis School of Music stands out.We’re all about building skill, confidence, and a passion for music that sticks with you.
Why bother learning music at all?
Music isn’t just another thing to put on a CV. You’re not only learning to hit the right keys or notes. You’re training your brain to focus longer, express yourself, and tap into creativity you didn’t know you had. Kids and adults both end up more confident, more disciplined, and better at communicating just from regular lessons. Plus, playing or singing music with others is a rush—once you try it, you want more.
Why London?
London isn’t just a backdrop; it’s the whole scene. You’re surrounded by musicians from every genre, every background. You can hear something new every week, from famous concert halls to late-night open mics. The city gives you endless chances to see real musicians in action and meet folks who share that spark for music.
Why does the choice of school matter?
Your experience comes down to the people teaching you and the vibe at the school. At Excelsis School of Music, we hire teachers who haven’t just mastered their instruments—they know how to pass that knowledge on in a way that feels personal. Lessons are shaped around you, your pace, and your goals. Some places go for a cookie-cutter method. We don’t.
The Teachers
Ask our students what makes the biggest difference and they’ll talk about their teachers. Our team knows how to build solid technique, sure, but they also make music make sense and boost your confidence along the way. Some students need structure, others need a nudge, and a few need someone to show them how to love the process. We adapt.
Lessons for Everyone
Young kids, teens, adults who are just starting, or folks returning to music—everyone’s welcome. Every person walks in with a different story and a different reason for learning. Whether you’re aiming to ace an exam or just want to play for fun, we’ll get you started on the right foot.
Instruments & Styles
Choosing your instrument is a big first step, so we offer a bit of everything: piano, guitar, singing, violin, drums, and music theory. You like classical or jazz? Cool. Prefer theatre music or pop hits? No problem. Our teachers help you find your voice—or your sound—and build from there.
How We Teach
No student is exactly like another. Some love reading music; some learn best by ear; some want the freedom to experiment or perform. Our job is to set smart, practical goals and keep things fun, so you actually want to show up and practice.
Classes for Kids
Parents all over London bring their children to us because they see what music education does—it sharpens focus, encourages teamwork, and helps kids open up. Our lessons are interactive, age-appropriate, and designed to spark imagination. We don’t make music a chore; we make it something kids want to keep doing.
Adult Beginners Are Welcome
Think it’s too late for you? Not here. Adults pick up music for lots of reasons: stress relief, curiosity, or the simple joy of learning something new. Our teachers get that adult learners have their own pace, and we create a low-pressure environment so you can enjoy each step.
Performance Counts
Yeah, playing in front of others can be scary, but it’s also exciting. We give our students regular, low-key chances to perform, whether on stage or in the studio. These moments help you see how far you’ve come and push you that bit further.
Flexible Enough for Real Life
Let’s face it—life doesn’t slow down. Work, school, errands… it all stacks up fast. You need lessons that actually fit into your routine. That’s why we keep things organized, so you see real progress, but we’re flexible too, so you don’t have to give up everything else.
A Positive Place to Learn
We want Excelsis to be that place where you can ask questions, mess up sometimes, try again, and actually feel good doing it. It’s simple: when you feel comfortable and encouraged, you learn better and faster.
How Parents Can Help
Want your child to stick with music? Show up. Set up a quiet spot to practice, celebrate little victories, and stay in touch with the teacher. Kids keep going when home and school are working together.
