Music Lessons in person and online
OUR story
Established in 2014, Global House of Music (GHM) has provided quality private music lessons in person and online for over six years. Our teachers travel to clients, a highly popular ‘we come to you’ service which means that students play the instruments on which they practice. We also offer online music lessons using Skype or Zoom and teach as far as Shanghai and Auckland. Our teachers are fully equipped and trained in providing lesson via digital platforms.
We started as a small individually run business employing and contracting teachers in and around South Africa. We have established relationships with universities such as WITS to become a feeding school for new teachers in 2019.
Our dedicated team works around the clock to ensure that every lesson is tracked with digital homework sheets and that their progress is monitored weekly by our office.

- Playing, and becoming competent at an instrument, gives a sense of pride and achievement.
- Performing to audiences can help to develop confidence.
