About Us

Specialist instrumental tuition delivered by experts

Established in 1986, and now celebrating our 33rd year, Sound Technique offers specialist instrumental tuition delivered by experts. We offer tuition for Guitars, Drums, Keyboards, Band Workshops & more! Based in Northwich, in the heart of Cheshire, our ultimate aim is to deliver fun, focused, high quality teaching and to maximise our pupils' musical learning.

Teaching experience

Our teaching methods have developed from over 70 years of combined specialist teaching. Lessons are given by the owner of the school and by fully qualified teaching staff. Our tutors are all LEA registered and independently Police checked.

Learning environment

Lessons are taught in four purpose-built, acoustically treated teaching rooms. We feel that the environment in which pupils are taught is paramount to their continuing development as musicians. Lessons are taught on Sound Technique's own industry standard equipment - allowing pupils to hear what they sound like on the very best equipment available.

Lessons for all

Our lessons take place weekly during term times. Lessons do not take place during school holidays as to allow for personal holidays - therefore, people do not pay for lessons they may not be able to attend. We know that no two people are the same; we have centuries of teaching material and music available to learn - from classical to this weeks chart hits. As tutors we maintain continuous professional development and research into the very latest styles and techniques - keeping it fun at all times, but always with foundation and relevance.

Taking things further

We provide GSCE and A Level preparation work as part of our affiliation with local schools, colleges and universities - teaching to the very highest standards. We have a 100% examination pass rate and many of our pupils have gone on to enjoy successful careers in the music industry

I have always felt like a frustrated rock guitarist and always intended to learn to play. Under the patience and expert musical guidance of Simon at Sound Technique I am slowly realising a life long ambition

I've grown up with the guys at Sound Technique, Si and Gaz are both talented, friendly teachers that make you feel right at home. Sound Technique provides a comfortable learning environment that I am fortunate to be part of

In many ways I thought I had left it too late, as I am 58 and have multiple sclerosis. However, in just over 18 months I have moved from being an absolute novice to being able to play, with much practice, many of my favourite tunes from Simon and Garfunkel to Frank Sinatra. None of this would have been possible without the help and particularly the patience of Simon Walker at Sound Technique

I started keyboard lessons 5 years ago as an optimistic pensioner who thought it would be easy. The patience and encouragement I have received from a very friendly, knowledgeable and talented tutor, Simon, have given me the confidence to persevere and continue to improve. It proves that the right tuition can create a fascinating and interesting pastime

Our three boys, Sam, Thomas and Matthew have had lessons at Sound Technique for a couple of years now and have loved every minute of it (as well as becoming accomplished young musicians). They are learning guitar, piano and drums respectively, in which all three of them gained distinction in their last exams. This is without doubt down to the relaxed and fun approach which Simon and Gaz adopt in their teaching. As parents we are extremely grateful for what has been achieved
