At Let The Children Play Music School, we believe music is more than just learning notes—it is about creativity, confidence, and self-expression. Founded by Daniel Dickson on 17th August 2025, the academy was created to bridge the gap between traditional music education and the need for a more interactive, child-focused approach.
Our philosophy is simple: children learn best when they are free to explore, practise, and collaborate in an encouraging environment. By combining structured lessons with informal learning, we give young learners the opportunity to master their chosen instrument—whether piano, guitar, drums, recorder, bass, or music theory—while enjoying the process.
Through ensembles, recitals, and shared experiences, children build not only musical skills but also confidence, teamwork, and creativity. With over 10 years of teaching experience in the UK and abroad, Daniel Dickson has designed this school to inspire the next generation of musicians to achieve excellence from the core.
Learn from highly experienced music tutors, led by Daniel Dickson, with over 10 years of teaching and performance experience in both formal and informal settings.
Every child chooses their own instrument and learns at a pace that suits them, ensuring confidence and creativity grow naturally.
From day one, students are encouraged to play, experiment, and perform—building skills through recitals, ensembles, and interactive sessions.
Our courses cover both practical skills and music theory, giving children a strong foundation to explore and excel in music.
At Let The Children Play Music School, our vision is to create a joyful and inspiring environment where children aged 7 to 16 can freely explore the world of music. We believe music is not only about playing an instrument, but also about building creativity, confidence, and lifelong friendships through shared learning and collaboration.
