Welcome to Cirencester Music Academy
Music Lessons & Music Shop in the Heart of Cirencester
Friendly, personalised music lessons for children, teenagers and adults, plus instruments, accessories and helpful advice from our town centre music shop.
Whether you’re starting from scratch or ready for your next musical challenge, you’re very welcome here.

Our music shop stocks Acoustic / Electric Guitar, Bass, Ukulele, Electric Drum Kits, Digital Pianos and Accessories. Upstairs are 8 teaching rooms teaching all those instruments plus Singing and Violin.
A Friendly Place to Learn and Enjoy Music
No stuffiness. No one-size-fits-all lessons. Just great music and plenty of encouragement.
We created Cirencester Music Academy to give local students a welcoming place where learning music feels exciting rather than intimidating.
Our teachers get to know what you want from music and help you develop at a pace that works for you.
Learn the Music You Love
Lessons are shaped around your interests, ability and goals — because learning is much easier when you actually enjoy what you’re playing.
Friendly, Supportive Teachers
Great musicianship matters, but so does patience, encouragement and making students feel comfortable from the very first lesson.
Children & Adults Welcome
From complete beginners to more experienced musicians, our academy is a relaxed place to learn, improve and enjoy making music.
Some students want grades and performances. Others just want to play their favourite songs after work. Both are equally welcome.

Your Local Music Shop in Cirencester
Instruments, accessories and friendly advice — all under the same roof as our teaching studios.
Buying your first instrument can be bewildering. Our shop is here to make it simpler, with a carefully chosen range for students, local musicians and families.
Instruments You’ll Want to Play
Our focus is on good-quality, good-value instruments for beginners and developing musicians — not filling shelves with hundreds of confusing choices.
The Essentials, Right Here
Strings, sticks, reeds, cables, tuners, straps, stands and the everyday bits musicians always seem to need five minutes before rehearsal.
Helpful Advice Without the Hard Sell
Not sure what you or your child needs? Come in and ask. We’ll help you make sense of the options and choose something suitable.
Visit the shop online or come and see us at 15 Dyer Street for instruments, accessories and friendly advice.
Why Cirencester Music Academy?

Owned and run here in Cirencester, with a genuine interest in supporting local students, families and musicians.
Lessons Built Around You

Lessons, instruments and a growing musical community in one place.
We’re building Cirencester Music Academy to be somewhere people can keep coming back to as their musical journey develops.
