Meet your tutor: Liam
Hi, I’m Liam. I started Upbeat to make learning music feel natural and enjoyable. With a BA (Hons) in Music Education (University of Aberdeen) and years of tutoring, I use a “Play Over Practise” approach: we make music first, then grow technique and theory in small, clear steps. You’ll play with a beat, learn songs you love, and—when you’re ready—join band jams and studio sessions to build real confidence.

Member Events
-
Full-band rehearsals in a professional rehearsal studio - loud, supportive, and seriously motivating.
Band Jams give students the chance to play music in a real band with other musicians without the added pressure of a live audience. The sessions are relaxed and we work through intros, endings, and transitions so songs feel tight. Students learn how to communicate like a band and leave buzzing.
-
Step into York Street Studio and record a live take—keep the video, audio, and photos.
Our Studio Live Sessions give students the chance to perform in a professional recording studio. You’ll learn how a real session runs, record a live take. Once it’s been professionally mixed, mastered, and edited together you get to keep a performance video, the mixed audio file, and photos of the day—all included in membership.
-
Low-pressure meet-ups where we jam to real grooves and turn ideas into music.
Our Jam Sessions are relaxed, friendly get-togethers where students plug in and play along to real drum beats and backing tracks. We focus on timing, feel, and listening—so even beginners leave sounding musical. It’s the perfect place to try a new riff, improvise a little, and build confidence.
