Lesson Progression

Jopson Music Academy’s hold examinations three times a year. It is not compulsory to take exams, and is not necessarily the best course for all pupils. If you like to take an exam please talk with you JMA tutor, who will be able to advise you on the best exam board and grade to suit you.

At Jopson Music Academy we recognise the importance of having the chance to perform live; with this in mind we offer a number of opportunities every year for pupils to do just that, whether it be at a concert or showcase. As with examinations, the concerts and showcases are not compulsory, but are a lot of fun and we encourage everyone (whatever your level or age) to get involved!

Enjoy your lessons? Then recommend us! If a friend, you have recommended JMA to, books in for a month of lessons we will give you a free half hour lesson as a thank you.
