"It's amazing how much I have learnt for just half an hour a week! Because of this course I managed to pass both my grade exams and my GCSE music exam with flying colours! Definitely helps with revision and generally just learning about the music, if you're looking for a course, this one is it."
Josh Woolley, London
"The lessons with Ash have been very beneficial for preparing me for my university music production course. I did not have the option to study music technology for A Level, but my lessons with Ash equipped me with greater knowledge of sound, and by the end I had a solid portfolio to present to my university"
David Woolley, London
