Newly List of Courses Offered at COPA 2025/2026

Part-time lessons are offered through COPA’s sister company, COPA Academy.

The idea is to provide a South African product that is locally accredited and will allow any musical genre to be studied. As a contemporary music institution, our series of books will focus on the bass guitar, drum kit, electric/acoustic guitar, keyboard, and vocals.

We believe what makes our approach in this series of part-time books unique is that we have not included set pieces. We have merely given guidelines as to the pieces you need to prepare in the contemporary/popular musical genre. You are, therefore, able to learn your songs of choice, and only if you wish to take the assessment do you need to indicate your song choice on the entry form for approval.

Our series of books can be worked through from cover to cover, giving you the option of taking an assessment at the end of the course. Alternatively, these books can be worked through casually at your own pace.

To get the most out of the lessons, you must put aside time during the week to practice and implement the lessons covered.
