What Our Clients Are Saying

"Templesprings is a vibrant music school; the enthusiasm and expertise of the team is excellent and their musical prowess diverse. The opportunity to work with several different instruments throughout the year and to perform to an audience was very exciting. I valued the fact that the tutors consistently sought to encourage my own interests as well as build my confidence through music."

"Templesprings is an excellent organisation, the course manual and lesson workbook is so easy to use and understand to the extent that just after the second lesson I started playing"

"The first few week were tedious, my co-ordination on the drums wasn't good, but the patience on the part of my tutor and perseverance on my part to practice yielded and is still yielding results"
