FAQS
WHY ARE PIANO LESSONS WORTH IT?
An experienced teacher will help you get the most enjoyment from learning piano, and will save you years of trial and error. Those who self-learn or who learn from an app tend to give up pretty quicky without that regular interaction. Give yourself the guidance you need from a qualified teacher who will help you achieve your goals.
CAN ADULTS TAKE PIANO LESSONS?
Yes. If you are an adult, then you get to steer your own goals, lessons, and practice. Around half of our learners are adults. In fact, one such adult learner recently took over lessons when her daughter stopped - and never looked back!
WHAT AGE SHOULD I START PIANO LESSONS?
Many adults believe it is too late to learn. This is not true, and many lose out on years of enjoyment. It's never too late to learn piano! Children may start piano lessons from 2 or 3 years old - these are the golden years for developing lifelong musicianship skills!
HOW MANY PIANO LESSONS DO I NEED?
It depends on your goals! It usually takes a beginner six months for the Prep Grade, six months for Initial Grade, and six months for Grade 1 at Distinction level - though this can vary depending on what you need. If you are an advanced learner, then you can take a piano diploma when you feel ready.
DO PIANO LESSONS HELP BRAIN DEVELOPMENT?
Yes. Piano lessons balance your mental state, increase your life expectancy, and help you realise your potential. They train your concentration and reactive capacities while improving your creativity. They slow the loss of brain function over time and increase IQ.
WHEN SHOULD I START PIANO LESSONS?
The best time to start was yesterday, the second best time to start is today. We'll help you get setup with exactly what you need to learn piano. If you really want to learn piano, inquire now!
