There's no timeframe to learning for pleasure...

We're not a college! Recently, we made the decision to do away with the academic calendar. Music House is a musical hub where people can learn for pleasure and work towards grade exams. This means you don't have to wait for a new term to begin.. you can start lessons immediately. Hurrah.
