“It’s always been my dream to start a music school and inspire others to write and perform songs,” tells Cheryl.
The Music Industry is very different to most music schools with so many opportunities for our students to grow as individuals as they perform live with other musicians to develop their skills, build confidence and even record their own songs in our recording studio.
