Music Tuition + Production Services, Middlesbrough
About – Up The Music Services
​
Hi! I’m Jamie Donnelly — a music tutor and producer based in Middlesbrough, and the person behind Up The Music Services.
​
I help people connect with music in a way that’s personal, fun, and genuinely fulfilling. Whether you're picking up a guitar for the first time, dusting off your bass, or diving into home recording, I’ll meet you where you’re at — and help you get where you want to go.
​
What I Do​
I offer:
-
1-to-1 music lessons (guitar, bass, ukulele, banjo, mandolin, music theory)
-
Music production services (recording, mixing, mastering)
-
Flexible options – learn in-person (Middlesbrough) or online
My lessons are student-led, meaning we focus on the songs and styles you love. No cookie-cutter curriculum — just meaningful progress, good tunes, and a relaxed, encouraging vibe.
​
Music Production, Too?
Yep! Alongside teaching, I help artists record and shape their music — from first takes to final masters. Whether you’re a beginner songwriter or an experienced band, I’ll bring your ideas to life with clarity, creativity, and care.
​
My Mission
To make music feel fun, accessible, and empowering — no matter your age, ability, or background. I believe learning should be a collaboration, not a lecture. And I’m here to help you sound more like you.
