Highly recommend Progress. These guys are so passionate about music and their enthusiasm is infectious! They encourage you every step of the way and give you confidence to perform. Music is proven to be uplifting - it's fun, sociable, motivational and you learn so much. Look forward to learning more in 2024! Thanks to all the team, especially Gary and Aleks.

I cannot recommend enough! I had vocal lessons with Aleksandra and my only regret is that I should have joined sooner! Aleksandra has been a great coach, she taught me techniques and helped me to work on my voice but also my confidence on a level I did not think was possible and in only a few sessions! Thank you!
