Drummer opens music school in Warrington to inspire next generation
Coda Music Academy is a new music school founded by Stu Fagan, who has been a drum teacher in Warrington for nearly 18 years.
The 40-year-old, who lives in Padgate, started offering one-to-one classes in 2022, which proved so popular that he decided to expand.
“There was so much demand and a waiting list that I took on a few in the evenings,” he said.
“I started thinking about how I could create even more of a positive culture centred around music education.
“I thought that the way I could deliver that and expand on it would be to open a music school where I can incorporate a number of students at the same time.”

Stu, who is a self-taught musician, hopes that Coda Music Academy can help inspire the next generation and add more names to Warrington’s growing music scene.
“I really enjoy teaching children – teaching the future generation of music,” he said.
“One thing that we’re trying to do is help to help to keep that scene alive, help to develop that scene and help to provide a continuation to that scene in the town.
“We are the children of that scene and so now we are, you know, we’re kind of trying to move that forward and keep it rich.”
The music academy, which is based on Buttermarket Street, offers a range of lessons including drums, guitar and singing.
But it isn’t just about teaching an instrument to Stu, he also enjoys creating a bond with his students and their families.

“You really do form strong bonds with people,” he said.
“As well as being a mentor and as well as teaching the instrument, I love that you become friends with the families of the people that you teach.
“It transcends just a formal lesson. It’s such a nice subject to be involved in. I get to watch these students grow as people as well and essentially end up being welcomed into their family.”
Coda Music Academy offers 45-minute classes in pairs and small groups for students above the age of six. Adult classes are also available.
