PIANO LESSONS
PIANO LESSONS IN THE HEART OF THE CITY
We specialise in providing lessons to adult learners and we welcome all abilities. Our students are either complete beginners or experienced players returning to the instrument after a long break. Most pupils are local City professionals who practice music as their hobby.

GUIDE TO LEVELS
The lessons welcome absolute beginners without any prior musical background all the way to advanced level students. Our lessons can incorporate any genres and are tailored to individual student’s needs, aiding in the development of musical, technical, and performance skills at the instrument.
The BEGINNERS level describes those students that are either starting to learn the piano for the first time or have very recently taken up the instrument. Lessons focus on introducing correct hand positions and posture, as well as learning technical elements, such as note reading, rhythm and fingering. Initial - Grade 2.
Students of an INTERMEDIATE level are those that have some experience playing, generally over two years, and are looking to take their playing to the next level. Lessons incorporate more advanced repertoire, improving reading/hand coordination, harmonic structures, and rhythmical patterns. A more varied range of pieces and technical exercises are taught. Grades 3-6.
ADVANCED students explore works of contrasting musical eras and styles, whilst building a higher level of confidence with the piano. There is a higher emphasis on analytical learning, developing a deeper understanding of complex compositional styles. Students at this level are usually those that have studied extensively either continuously or before taking a break. Performances are highly encouraged for those studying repertoire at an advanced level. Grades 7+.
LOCATION
All private lessons take place at our music studio at 39 Ludgate Hill, located just across St Paul’s Cathedral, a few minutes walk from Blackfriars, City Thameslink and Farringdon stations. The studio is equipped with a brand new Yamaha B1 upright and an electric Kawai CA piano.
LESSON TIMES
We try out best to accommodate the most suitable time for both students and teachers. Lessons take place at a set weekly time either on weekday afternoons/evenings, or daytime on weekends. When getting in touch, please specify any time preferences and availability.
THE TEACHERS
Most of our teachers are alumni of the Royal Academy of Music, bringing an extensive performance and teaching experience. Teachers are extremely dedicated to each individual student’s needs and successfully guide pupils through the different stages of learning piano using a holistic approach: enjoying the process of learning and cherishing the relationship with music.
THE STUDENTS
Our students come from many different professions, either returning to the piano after a long break or starting from scratch. We organise regular student socials and events, including concert attendances and in-house performances.
PRICES & CONCESSIONS
Lessons are paid for monthly at a set price. We offer introductory discounts and concessionary rates to full-time students and to over 60s.
