Keys to Success: Your child's piano journey‍

BEGINNERS: Group Piano Classes

‍GRADE 1 to GRADE 8: Private 1:1 Lessons

• Level 1: Grades 1–3
• Level 2: Grades 4–5
• Level 3: Grades 6–8

We teach children aged 5 and up, as younger kids may lack the focus and concentration needed for effective learning. Giving your child the gift of music fosters cognitive skills like memory and problem-solving, which benefits other academic areas. Our 1:1 lessons cover technique, music reading, aural skills, rhythm, improvisation, and performance, tailored to each student’s needs. ABRSM exams are optional for those wanting certification. We are DBS-checked and first aid trained for a safe learning environment.

ABRSM Graded Examinations

For students pursuing piano proficiency, I follow the ABRSM syllabus, which includes eight graded exams covering pieces, scales, arpeggios, sight-reading, and aural tests. Scores out of 150:

• 100 to pass
• 120 for Merit
• 130 for Distinction

Students may take ABRSM Piano Grades 1-8 exams in two formats:

• Performance Grades (online): Submit a video of 4 pieces.
• Practical Grades (in-person): Perform 3 pieces, plus scales, sight-reading, and aural tests

Exams are optional for leisure learners, but higher grades require greater commitment. For Grades 2 and above, I recommend weekly 45-min to one-hour lessons. Find exam dates and fees here: ABRSM Exam Dates and Fees.

Note: To take Practical or Performance Grade 6, 7, or 8 exams, you must first pass Grade 5 Music Theory.
