ABOUT
Out Loud Music School was founded by Kiara Ditrana in 2014, originally as a one-to-one singing teaching practice in South London. After relocating to Teddington, Kiara’s teaching quickly gained momentum, and over the past couple of years, the business has expanded significantly across the West London music scene.
What began as a solo venture has now grown into Out Loud Music School – a vibrant and inclusive hub for music education, offering lessons in singing, piano, guitar, ukulele, and music theory, both online and in-person.
Kiara is a singer, pianist, ukulele player and songwriter with over 10 years of teaching experience. She holds a BA Hons in Professional Musicianship and specialises in contemporary music genres, working with students of all ages – from complete beginners to advanced performers preparing for exams or auditions.
The school takes pride in creating a warm, welcoming environment for all learners, with a strong focus on supporting neurodivergent students. Whether it’s helping with focus, easing anxiety, or adapting lessons to suit individual learning styles, we tailor our approach to meet each student where they are.At Out Loud Music School, our mission is to help every student find their unique voice and musical path – supported by a growing team of highly skilled, passionate tutors.
