About us
GTB Music School isn't an agency. We're a decentralised music school with a community of 10+ tutors and nearly 200 students in SW Herts and NW London.
We're musician/tutor-run, so we've done and do what you do, we get it, and we want you and your students to love being part of our school, and work with us to build something even bigger and better as long-term partners.
Our team and director Peter are on hand for support and advice, sharing resources, and of course, end-of-term socials!
