Our verdict
Our judgement: Deakin Music suits you if you want one Dawley school for singing or instruments with exam routes attached [1]. Published contact routes and a 4.9 rating read well [1] [2]. What counts against it is price and paperwork: no fees, trading history or insurance details appear on the site [1].

Questions about Deakin Music
Is Deakin Music any good?
Good for variety under one roof: outside our top ten with almost five stars on Google from ten reviews, offering singing, instruments, acting and dance for all ages. It suits Dawley families wanting one school for several disciplines. Read the full review, then ask for fees in writing.
Is Deakin Music registered with a teaching scheme?
No scheme membership, licence or professional registration is stated, so it cannot be sourced. Graded exams run through national boards, which is a teaching service rather than a registration. Ask what sits behind your child's lessons when you enquire, and which board would suit your child.
What does Deakin Music charge?
No lesson prices, rates or fee statements are published on the pages checked. Ask for the fee, the lesson length and block terms in writing before the first lesson, and pin any quoted fee against Midlands survey rates for one-to-one teaching.
Where does Deakin Music teach?
The school teaches from the High Street in Dawley, Telford, with phone, email, social channels and a drop-in invitation published. Dawley and Telford postcodes sit inside its patch. Send your discipline, ages and suitable times to confirm formats before visiting.
How is Deakin Music ranked?
It sits outside our top ten for September: unpublished prices and missing trading and insurance detail hold it back against fuller pages. Dave Sylva Guitar Tuition is in the same position. Read the full review, then ask for everything in writing.
