About us
Our Story
Two musicians, one shared conviction: that music education should be excellent, accessible, and deeply woven into a child's development.
Samantha Higgs
Co-founder & Teacher
Samantha leads lessons with warmth, precision, and a genuine attentiveness to each child in front of her. Her teaching centres on careful foundations, consistent encouragement, and the belief that musical confidence grows best when students feel both challenged and known.
Across piano, clarinet and flute, she helps students develop secure technique, musical independence, and a clear sense of progress, while keeping joy and curiosity firmly in the room.
Oliver Higgs
Co-founder & Teacher
Oliver brings a broad, practical view of music-making to the school, combining instrumental teaching with a strong interest in how music can be taught meaningfully across whole classrooms and wider school life.
His work reflects the same core belief that shapes the school as a whole: music is not an optional extra, but a vital part of cultural life, confidence-building, and individual growth.
Our vision
“Music education should be re-centralised as a crucial element of individual growth and cultural enhancement — ensuring high-quality musical experiences are accessible to all.”
This vision shapes both the individual tuition side of the school and the work we do with education settings: patient teaching, meaningful standards, and a refusal to treat music as peripheral.
The school
Rooted in Bruton, reaching across Somerset
Peek School of Music is based in Bruton, serving BA10 and the surrounding area. We work with children and young people across piano, clarinet, flute, and saxophone, built around close teacher-family communication rather than disconnected one-off lessons.
Alongside one-to-one tuition, Samantha and Oliver work with schools on specialist provision, giving the project a wider educational reach while keeping the same values at its centre.
