From our beginnings over a decade ago, we have grown from a single Bath Spa graduate with just eight students learning drums to nearly a dozen teacher musicians teaching over 350 students any one or more of seven instruments. With group music-making projects and a variety of live performances in the local area and around the country. 

Individual drum lessons were initially hosted at Sounds International in Bath before moving to the lower level of our current premises in Green Park Station over 10 years ago. Two studios became four, one performance became three, and teachers tripled. 

About five years ago with waiting lists and word of mouth red hot, more teachers were needed, a larger performance venue would be required, as would a new logo (desperately). The early discussions of what would become an incredible cultural partnership with Bath Spa University would see the first ‘MuwFest’, a three day music extravaganza. 

With the guidance, feedback, and, most crucially, support of our local community, we were able to spread upstairs, opening Music Workshop Coffeehouse, which has deepened our community connections, allowed us to diversify our musical offerings, and set a strong foundation for our ongoing development. The coffeehouse and its benefits have greatly enhanced our appeal to commercial and public sponsors, as well as local community members and creatives.
