Piano

Two hands, one line of music

Piano asks something few first instruments do: two hands doing different jobs while you read two staves at once. So we build that independence slowly, one hand secure before the other joins it.

Young beginners and adults starting from scratch begin in the same place, with a relaxed wrist and the right hand shape.

In a lesson

What we actually work on

  1. 01

    Posture and hand shape

    Bench height, a loose wrist and curved fingers. Small things that decide whether playing feels easy or tiring a year from now.

  2. 02

    Reading both clefs

    Treble and bass, read fluently enough that practising alone at home is productive instead of frustrating.

  3. 03

    Rhythm and steady time

    Counting, pulse and keeping both hands together, so a piece holds its shape all the way through.

  4. 04

    Pieces you want to play

    Technique is the means. We keep a piece on the stand that you actually want to finish.

Practice at home

Practice that actually helps

Every week ends with a short, specific list: which bars, which hand, how slowly. Ten focused minutes do more than an hour of playing the piece from the top.

Parents see the same list, so they know what good practice at home looks like.
