* Friendly, Professional Tutors

* Discover the Joy of Making Music


Since January, 1989, we have helped people fulfil their dreams of making music. For 36 years, we have kept true to our mission, always to offer excellence while providing a private education that you can afford.

Key advantages include:

Experienced, Professional Teachers

Diverse Range of Styles and Techniques

Lessons Built Around You

Building Your Ability at Every Level

Though ever professional, ours is resolutely a people business. Why? Because we made it that way. Thirty six years on, and with founders Darrell and Eileen Priestley still very much at the helm, that has not changed. This is why you can trust us to look after you, and to do our utmost to ensure your musical development. So, if you or your family members are ready to discover what music can do for you, you could find nowhere better to learn, from starter to star achiever.

For thirty six years, we have been a leading light in music education, attracting able teachers and helping them to build and maintain a viable teaching practise while encouraging them always to be client focused. Throughout this time, our many students have benefited from activities ranging from small shows to high profile performances, concert tours to mainland Europe, and a high success rate in grade exams, but crucially always with the support of the people leading the team. We are, we believe, by far the longest established private music school in the area, and it is hard to imagine any other school providing quite the same focus on quality of music education with such warmth and support. Perhaps this explains why good teachers are always so keen to work as part of this team.

Discover the joy of making music for yourself, by taking your first steps with Northern Music Academy, and let us help you make music your friend for life.
