The Bone Project was started by Pete Rathbone to give an outlet to a mad mans cambering to vent his own creations of music which until now had to take a back seat.


We run Taylor made classes for the individual covering the following subjects: Drums - Guitar - Bass - DJing. All lessons are a 55min in-depth study on the chosen subject in a purpose built studio fitted with all the relevant latest equipment. Lessons are charged at 15 pounds an hour and are on a One to One basis with one of our professional teaching staff. Lessons are set to the individual's abilities so they can learn at their own pace. Tutors do set review weeks to ascertain the progress of a student to make sure that they are receiving the best tuition possible and to reassure the payee of the session that they are receiving a high standard of feedback. Lessons go from the very basic through to the professional player and cover all aspect of their chosen instrument. Where graded exams are relevant they can be taken in the chosen subject.
