"Ballymena School of Music is a very good place to learn to play an instrument. Heather teaches me to play the piano and is very patient and kind. That's why I like Ballymena School of Music."
Ben McGarvey (10 years)

"I first came to the school 3 years ago as a complete guitar novice and I have not regretted it. The teachers have always been happy to cater the lessons to my needs, whether it be practicing for grades, discussing theory or working on learning a favorite song.

I have never felt out of my depth, but always felt challenged to expand my abilities. I would strongly recommend the school to anyone interested in improving their skills, regardless of level and have already suggested lessons to family members and friends."
