About

Music, taught properly

Seven Notes Academy teaches live music classes and 1-on-1 lessons to students in 6 countries, on a graded pathway recognized worldwide.

Why the academy exists

Most children who give up an instrument don’t lack talent. They practice mistakes nobody corrects, they learn things in no particular order, and nobody can tell them whether they are getting better. After a while, the interest fades.

Seven Notes Academy was started to fix exactly that. Every class is live, with a certified instructor who hears every note. Every course follows one structured curriculum, built in 12-class modules. And progress is measured against RSL, Trinity and ABRSM graded standards, the same ones examiners use.

Today the academy has taught more than 5,000+ students, with 20+ instructors, in the UK, US, Canada, Australia, UAE and India.

What we believe

Build the right foundation

Talent matters less than the foundation underneath it. Four principles shape every class.

Someone has to listen

A child can’t correct what they can’t hear. Every class is live, so mistakes are fixed in the moment, before they become habits.

Order matters

Skills build on skills. One structured curriculum introduces each new idea when the child is ready for it, so effort compounds instead of scattering.

Progress should be visible

Children keep going when they can see they are improving. Graded pathways, written feedback and real songs make progress something you can point to.

Enjoyment is the engine

Real music from the very first class. A child who enjoys playing practices without being asked, and that does more than any rule.

Founder · Guitar, piano and theory

I’ve spent 20 years on stage and in recording sessions, and I’ve taught more than 5,000 students. Most of the children who came to me after other lessons had the same story: they could play a few things, but nobody had ever corrected the basics, and nothing had been taught in order.

Seven Notes Academy is built to fix that. Every class is live. Every skill comes in the right order. And progress is measured against the same graded standards examiners use.
