  • Reading music, solfège and the instrument are taught together in the same lesson, reinforced with homework
  • The day and time are agreed between you and your teacher
  • A progress report every 4 months, with regular feedback in between
  • Preparation for international certificate programmes such as London College of Music and the Royal Academy of Music

Instruments

Piano

From age 5. We recommend starting early; the teaching method is chosen to suit how each student learns best, whether by ear, by sight or verbally.

Guitar

From age 7, because of hand and finger coordination. Classical guitar first and foremost, as well as electric and bass guitar, with a personal programme from beginner level.

Violin

From age 6. The violin asks for a little more patience and regular practice than other instruments.

Cello

From age 7. You can start at any age, although starting young gives the best results.

Flute

From age 7. For young children there is also the piccolo, a smaller, easier-to-carry model.

Voice

For singers and performers, and also for lawyers, presenters and anyone who wants to improve their speaking voice. Training starts with correct breathing and posture.

Piano, guitar, violin, cello, flute and voice. We welcome students of all ages, children and adults.

How are the lessons structured?

Instrument lessons are one-to-one private lessons, once a week for 50 minutes (if you are preparing for an exam, the programme is planned around it). Reading music, solfège and the instrument are taught together in the same lesson and reinforced with homework.

Can I choose the day and time?

Yes. Private lessons are scheduled at a time that suits both you and your teacher.

How will I follow my progress?

You receive a progress report every 4 months, with regular feedback in between. We also offer preparation for international certificate programmes such as London College of Music and the Royal Academy of Music.

Is there a trial lesson?

We do not offer a free trial lesson. Before buying a package you can pay for a single lesson and join the class for one week, so you can get to know the studio and your instructor.

What if I miss a lesson?

Please let us know the day before if possible, and at least 4 hours before the lesson. A lesson you cancel in time can be made up within the same 4-week term. A lesson missed without notice counts as taken.
