Build comfortable posture, keyboard awareness, finger control and an understanding of how musical patterns fit together.
Read, listen and create
Develop notation, chords, rhythm, playing by ear and harmony through classical or contemporary repertoire.
Make music your own
Shape expression and confidence for personal enjoyment, performance, accompaniment, composition or optional exams.

- Explore the keyboard and establish a comfortable hand position
- Play a short pattern, melody or chord sequence

Instrument and equipment
You do not need to buy a piano or keyboard before your free taster. Tell us what you have at home and we will confirm the lesson setup, then explain the important features to look for if you need an instrument.
Practice between lessons
A few focused minutes on most days can build familiarity faster than occasional long sessions. The amount and material will be adapted to the individual learner.

PIANO LESSON FAQ
Is a keyboard suitable for learning?
It can be. Key size, touch sensitivity, number of keys and pedal options affect how well it supports progress, so ask us before purchasing.
Classical or contemporary piano?
Both are available. Lessons can combine reading, technique and theory with pop, film music, accompaniment, improvisation or other interests.
Can I return after a long break?
Absolutely. We will identify what has stayed with you, rebuild confidence and avoid making you repeat material unnecessarily.
