FAQ

When can I have a lesson?

Daytime and evening lessons are available, including home visits, Mon - Sat.

Do you do home visits? Does this cost extra?

Many students prefer to receive tuition in the comfort of their own home, on a familiar instrument. Therefore, home visits can be arranged for both daytime and evening lessons, at no extra charge.

Can I take piano exams?

Learn purely for pleasure or enter grade examinations -

For those who wish to take piano examinations, the Associated Board of The Royal Schools of Music offer a progressive exam structure starting with the Preparatory Exam, through grades 1 to 8, and beyond to Diploma Level. However, whilst the exam system is an excellent incentive to assist in study, tuition is for everyone - with the emphasis on the enjoyment of playing. Many students play just for fun and a wide range of musical styles are taught, from Classical to Popular.

Is it too late for me to start learning music?

Tuition for all ages & abilities - it's never too late to learn. Whether you are a complete beginner or started learning to play in the past and wish to continue lessons, tuition is for everyone. Students range from young children (8+) to the elderly, and each student receives a tailor-made programme of study to suit their needs.
