Four Hills Music in North London Founder and Director Martyn Stogden BA (Hons) Music & Lit  We don't accept there are naturally 'musical' or 'gifted' people (and then the rest of us), rather we all have the ability to study, learn and express ourselves creatively. The 'myth of talent' is a convenient excuse for not following a dream. We look forward to working with you."
