*We can teach other instruments subject to interest.

Music School Patron, Andy Hamilton (left) was awarded an MBE in the 2008 New Years Honours. Andy, who lives around the corner from the Community centre where we hold our lessons, won the award for services to music in Birmingham.

Trumpet & Flute

The Ladywood Community School of Music can now teach the Trumpet and the Flute. We have now recruited Alvin Davis to replace our current Saxophone tutor while he is away on a rolling contract, and, as Alvin can teach Trumpet and Flute as well as Sax we can use the opportunity to expand the range of instruments we offer.
