Bournemouth School of Music

Welcome to the Bournemouth School of Music - est 2013

We are an established music school set in Pokesdown, we offer one to one tuition for all ages and abilities.

We are less than 2 minutes walk from Pokesdown train station and there is also a bus stop right outside the school.

My name is Rachel, and I have been passionate about music since I started playing instruments at the age of 8. My journey in music led me to achieve Grade 8 ABRSM in flute, saxophone, and clarinet, as well as Grade 5 in piano and music theory. After furthering my education at music college, I began teaching from my music studio at just 17 years old, gaining valuable experience as a peripatetic teacher in numerous schools across Dorset and Hampshire.

In 2013, I founded the Bournemouth School of Music with a mission to provide people of all ages and abilities, especially children, with access to quality music lessons. We started with two teaching rooms and have grown into a well-established school with five fully equipped teaching rooms, including a professional soundproofed rehearsal and teaching room. Our goal is to create an inspiring environment where students can explore and develop their musical talents.

At the Bournemouth School of Music, we offer lessons in a wide range of instruments and styles. Whether you want to learn for fun or aim to achieve grades through recognized examination boards such as ABRSM, RSL (Rockschool), Trinity, RSL, we have a course tailored for you. Our dedicated instructors provide personalized instruction to help each student reach their unique goals.

In addition to my teaching, I have had the pleasure of performing in various bands, including a 9-piece jump jive band called The Regular Joes. We have played at numerous festivals, including the prestigious Goodwood Revival Festival and the Queen's Coronation at Buckingham Palace. These experiences have enriched my musical journey and fueled my passion for sharing music with others.

Thank you for visiting our website, and I look forward to helping you embark on your musical journey!
