Ages 6 and up
One-to-one piano lessons, from a first meeting with the keys to fluent, expressive playing. Reading, rhythm, posture and musicality develop step by step at your child’s own pace, with the stage and, if you wish, LCM exams further along the way.
Ages 8 and up
A sound that starts with the breath and grows more beautiful with patience. In one-to-one flute lessons we build a secure foundation, from breathing and embouchure to a clear tone, reading and playing with piano accompaniment, with the stage and exams along the way.

Regular practice at home is essential, so yes, an instrument is needed. To begin with, a digital piano with 88 weighted, touch-sensitive keys is perfectly adequate instead of an acoustic piano. We do not recommend small-keyed keyboards, as they make good finger technique harder. Do ask us before you buy and we will gladly talk through the options.
Lessons are one-to-one and last 45 or 60 minutes, depending on the student’s age and level. Most students have one lesson a week, and extra lessons can be arranged around exams or concerts when needed.
Yes. In a trial lesson your child meets the instrument and their teacher, and we talk with you about their interest, readiness and the right place to begin. To book, get in touch by phone, WhatsApp or the contact form.
We teach the concert (transverse) flute. As it needs breath control and a certain reach, most children start at around eight; for younger players, a flute with a curved head joint can make the start easier. Having played the recorder at school is a lovely preparation, but not a requirement.
Let’s take your child’s first step into music together. In a trial lesson your child meets the instrument and their teacher, and together with you we look at their interests and the right place to begin. You can reach us by phone, WhatsApp or the contact form.
