How to book

All music tuition registration is managed through our online registration portal, SpeedAdmin. Registering for a music lesson via SpeedAdmin should be straightforward, but if you should have difficulty, here are some useful steps to follow.

  • Choose where to learn from either Beacon Music Centre, in School or online in Virtual Academy
  • If you already have a SpeedAdmin account, please login to your existing one to avoid multiple accounts being created.
  • For lessons in school, select the school your child attends from the dropdown menu, then select their instrument
  • If your child’s school is not listed, please check with them how they would like you to sign up for lessons with us.
  • Students are required to have their own instrument for lessons (excluding piano, keyboard or drum kit). You can hire an instrument from Bristol Beacon per term if needed.
  • Follow the steps on SpeedAdmin to complete the registration.
  • When complete, we will be in touch to arrange your music lessons.
