Music lessons
Learning to play an instrument is one of the most rewarding and exciting things you can do. And with Newham Music you can learn just about every instrument there is!

First the basics;
- instruments come in ‘families’, which all have one thing in common
- there are small and large, high and low instruments in each family
- each family has one or two instruments that are more popular, and a few that are less, so if you choose one of the less popular instruments, you’ll always be in demand!
- every one of these instruments has a group or ensemble that it plays in
- some instruments belong in more than one family – don’t get confused!
