Piano Course
Our Piano program is designed for those who want to enrich their playing. Piano tuition is one-to-one so that teachers can tailor the lessons to meet the individual needs of each student. Participating students will need to have an acoustic or digital piano to practice at home.
The course encourages the development of each student’s abilities in a very relaxed atmosphere. Students learn the fundamentals of Piano technique – as well as basic music theory, sight-reading and chordal accompaniment – while progressing through a varied and interesting repertoire.
Students are encouraged to express their own interest in music and suggest tunes that they would like to learn.
