Piano tuition is available for students aged 6 years and above, at all levels from beginners to Grade 8.
Beginners follow a series of lesson books and will learn correct playing habits, note-reading, sight-reading, listening skills and essential music theory, building up a repertoire of pieces to play for their own enjoyment and that of family and friends. When the student is ready s/he will be offered the opportunity of taking the London College of Music exams at Pre-preparatory, Step 1 and Step 2, followed by Grades 1 - 8 (a qualification at Grade 5 in Music Theory is advisable for higher grades - see Music Theory).
Students with prior knowledge of the instrument can be entered for the appropriate Grade exam for their level, or may choose to improve their technique and performance without sitting exams.
Lessons are available as 30-minute, 45-minute, or 1-hour sessions, depending on the level of study, on a weekly basis.
