To get started, an instrument you can play a few chords on (guitar, piano, ukulele) and a notebook. Your trial lesson is a great time to go through this with your instructor - they'll tell you exactly what (if anything) you'll want on hand for the first few weeks.

Our Songwriting instructors teach pop, folk, indie, hip-hop, and musical theatre. At your trial lesson we'll pair you with a teacher whose strengths match the styles you want to play, whether that's exam repertoire, a favourite song, or something in between.
