Music Tutors & Musical Duo
Jess and Dec are two best friends turned partners who have duetted together since sixth form, and have shared a love and passion for music for as long as they've been friends. In recent years they found a new way to share, enjoy and spread that passion, through teaching. With the creation of Jess & Dec's music school in 2025 they hope to spread that joy further and reach more students than ever!
Our lessons are held in-person at our studio in Hopton, near Stanton, on the Norfolk/Suffolk border. We currently teach students from across the local area. If you're not sure whether we're within reach, just get in touch — we'd love to hear from you.
Jess Davey
Jess is a dedicated musician, performer and natural teacher whose warmth makes students of all ages feel immediately at ease. Alongside her A-Level in Music Performing Arts, Jess holds a Bachelors Degree in Childhood and Youth Studies — giving her a uniquely informed approach to how people learn. With several years of experience teaching piano and singing, as well as nearly a decade of performing vocally, she specialises in taking students from their very first notes through to a confident, well-rounded level of playing and performance. Jess creates a relaxed, supportive environment where students feel free to enjoy the process at their own pace. Jess holds a full enhanced DBS certificate.
Dec Cunningham
Dec has been playing guitar since he was just 9 years old, and over the last few years has found an equally deep passion in sharing that love with others. Holding a Grade 6 in Acoustic Guitar, Grade 3 in Classical Guitar, and an A-Level in Music Performing Arts, he brings both the technical grounding and the real-world experience of a working musician to every lesson. With several years of teaching students of all ages and abilities — from complete beginners to advanced players — Dec brings patience, enthusiasm and a genuine belief that anyone can play. Whether you're drawn to guitar or bass he'll meet you exactly where you are and help you get to where you want to be. Dec holds a full enhanced DBS certificate.
Music Tutors
About 4 years ago we discovered the joy of music tutoring and having the ability to pass on our love for our instruments to others. We have been teaching in a primary school for 3 years offering both peripatetic lessons and whole class music tuition, as well as running workshops and after-school clubs in other schools, and offering private lessons outside of school. Now, with Jess & Dec's music school in full swing and being blessed with having the space to teach, we are able to share the knowledge we have accumulated over years of playing and performing with more and more students. Without a doubt, it is one of the most fulfilling jobs we could possibly do.

Acoustic Duo
Since the ages of 18, as well as writing, recording and performing music together in numerous ways, they also performed together as an acoustic duo. Their duo saw a rise in success in 2025 with around 30 events played, including pubs, shows, festivals, weddings, private parties, and other venues across East Anglia (and even branching out to London!). They share their love through the music they play and hope to play more gigs than ever together in the years to come.
