Piano lessons
A considered beginning at the keyboard, with time for listening, reading and the practical habit of regular playing.
A useful starting point.
For a beginner finding the first notes, or a returning learner looking for a structured way back to the keyboard.
Tell the school about your interests and experience in general terms. Ask what its actual programme offers, which lesson format is suitable and how a first meeting is arranged.
What the lesson could explore.
- Finding a comfortable starting position and orienting yourself at the keyboard
- Listening to short phrases and finding a steady pulse

Not included.

Before the first session.
