From Beginner to Band Member:
If you’ve always wanted to learn an instrument — or maybe pick one back up — there’s no better time than now. At Good Vibes Music Academy, we’re proud to help adults turn musical dreams into reality with supportive, professional teaching, a welcoming studio right in the heart of Newbury, and plenty of chances to actually play the music you love.

Why Learn as an Adult?
Let’s face it — adult life is busy. But finding a creative outlet can be transformative. Whether it’s strumming the guitar after work, jumping behind a drum kit to let off steam, or finally learning the piano piece you’ve always loved, learning music gives back in energy, confidence and joy.
And the best part? You don’t need any prior experience. Whether you’re starting from scratch or revisiting your favourite instrument from school days, we’ve got your back.
Professional Teachers, Real-World Experience
At Good Vibes, all our teachers are pro musicians with real industry experience. They’ve played festivals, recorded in studios, toured nationally (and internationally) — and now, they’re here to share their passion and skills with you. They know what it’s like to start later in life, and how to make lessons engaging, inspiring and totally tailored to your goals.
