The Classes

Junior Piano

For students who begin playing at age 6 and 7.

The same principles as the Young Musician class are used, but structured to suit this older age group.

Note reading and a thorough grounding of musical knowledge are crucial to progress, which is very much part of the study.

Before long students will be able to take their first exams, if they wish.

Later Beginners

For children age 8 to 12, these classes use the same ideas incorporated in the other courses, again with an approach suited to this older age range.

By this age, students normally progress at a faster rate than the junior classes, and the material and approach reflect this, using books from the Alfred Publications Later Beginner series.

Teens and Adults

It's never too late to learn!

For teens and adults wishing to play for the first time, and those wishing to return to playing, we have classes catering for these ages.

A word of caution! Many adults like the idea of playing but can't commit to the time it takes to do well. So if you are thinking of learning to play, think about the commitment that learning will mean and whether you will be able to make that commitment. If you can, then just get in touch!

And, if you have a youngster, you can help them play too.

WHo are the classes for?

Beginners

Beginners can start at any time, subject to availability. To start the musical journey, why not get in touch?

Non-beginners

If someone has been playing for a while, just get in touch.
