Piano lessons for Children (Grades 1-8)

A Clear Pathway to Musical Success

We offer a well-structured piano pathway designed to set students up for long-term success.

Stage 1: Beginners to Grade 1

All beginners start in Beginners Piano program which will typically take students up to ABRSM Grade 1–2 level before transitioning into private 1:1 lessons for more advanced study.

Stage 2: Grades 1–8

Our private lessons are tailored to each student's level and goals, developing:

  • Proper technique and posture
  • Confident note-reading and sight-reading
  • Finger agility and articulation
  • A broad and varied repertoire
  • Scales and music theory
  • Improvisation and composition
  • Dynamic musical expression and performance skills

Unlike many studios, we don't focus solely on exam pieces. Students develop strong core musicianship through a balanced programme that builds lasting skills and confidence. Exams are always optional.

We're proud to maintain a 100% ABRSM pass rate, with many students achieving Merits and Distinctions.

'24/32-Hit Wonder' Phenomenon

Are you tired of hearing your child play the same three or four exam pieces over and over again? Have you ever wondered why those are the only pieces they can play? Would you rather your child learn and enjoy 30–50 pieces a year, or just 3–4 exam pieces?

Many transfer students join us having been taught only a handful of exam pieces at each grade - a result of the “exam factory” or "exam conveyer belt" approach.

They may hold Grade 1, 2 or even Grade 3 certificates, yet still struggle to read music fluently, learn new pieces independently, or play without finger numbers or note names written on the score.

A common sign is "autopilot playing" where students can perform familiar exam pieces from memory, often without even opening the exam music book, but cannot confidently start from the middle of the piece, recover from mistakes, or tackle new unfamiliar music. They've spent months polishing a small number of exam pieces instead of building broader musical skills.

Learning just three or four Grade 1 exam pieces is not the same as being truly Grade 1 standard.

To be genuinely Grade 1 standard, a student should be able to learn and play a wide range of repertoire at that level, supported by secure note-reading, rhythm, technique, finger control, scales, sight-reading, aural skills and overall musical understanding.

Imagine skipping Years 10 and 11 and going straight to your GCSE exams. That is essentially what happens when a student learns only the Grade 1 exam pieces without developing the knowledge and skills behind them.

Exam certificates can sometimes create the impression that a student is progressing well, even when important foundations have been skipped in favour of rushing through exam pieces.

At our studio, exams are milestones, not the curriculum. We believe students should take an exam when they're already playing many repertoires comfortably at that level - not spend months wrestling with just three or four pieces.

Instead, we focus on building true musical literacy and fluent music reading. Students learn a broad repertoire, develop fluent music reading from clean copies of the score, strengthen technique, rhythm and listening skills, and receive integrated music theory at no extra cost.

We're proud to prepare students for ABRSM Grades 1–8, with a 100% pass rate and many students achieving Merits and Distinctions.

"True musical literacy is our priority. I've seen far too many students fast-tracked through exams who sadly cannot read music fluently. Our goal is to ensure every student develops confident reading skills alongside strong technique and real musical understanding." - Emi

ABRSM Graded Examinations

We follow the ABRSM syllabus for Grades 1–8, covering pieces, scales, sight‑reading, and aural skills. Exams are optional, with two formats:

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

Scores out of 150: 100 to pass, 120 for Merit, 130 for Distinction.

Higher grades require more commitment. From Grade 2+, we recommend 60‑minute weekly lessons. To progress to Grades 6–8, passing Grade 5 Music Theory is mandatory.

* Even for Performance Grades, we still teach scales, sight‑reading, and aural skills for a well rounded music education.
