Response time
We reply within one working day, usually much sooner. Evenings are teaching time, so messages sent after 5pm are answered the next morning.
Schedules change from week to week. Tell us when you could make it, and we will get in touch as soon as something opens up. You will hear about new slots before they are listed publicly.
Yes, most of our students start from nothing. You will play real music in your first lesson, and everything moves at a pace set by you, not by a book.
Children are very welcome from around age six, when attention spans and hands are ready for half an hour of focused playing. Adults of any age can start too, and a good many of our students are well past fifty.
Yes, you will need something to practise on between lessons, even if it is a very basic one. It does not need to be expensive. If you are unsure what to buy, ask us first and we will point you at good value options.
Your teacher sends you a video call link before each lesson. You need your instrument, a phone or laptop with a camera, and a quiet corner. Everything else, the plan, the songs, the feedback, works exactly as it does in person.
Life happens. Give us at least 24 hours notice and we will simply move the lesson to another slot that week or carry it forward. Lessons missed without notice are charged, because your teacher’s time was held for you.
Yes. Book more than four weeks of lessons in one go and a discount is applied to the whole block: 10 percent for in person lessons, 8 percent for online.
Thirty minutes with a teacher tells you more than an afternoon of reading. Book when you are ready.
