Is playing the piano impossible like the flying pig? NOT WITH US

We are ISM registered private teachers with Enhanced Disclosure CRB certificate for the role of Private Music Teacher.

Do you think that with our international training, exam successes, qualifications and experience, we're over qualified to be your piano teacher?

WRONG - because if you want to do it properly, it's FASTER and therefore CHEAPER to learn piano with really experienced and proven experts like us. We're patient, love our work, aim for deep learning NOT shortcuts. Enjoy classical, jazz or pop - if it's written down we can teach it! Come here for your tuition.

ALL AGES AND STANDARDS WELCOME. Have your lesson on a real grand or upright piano. It's OK to have an electronic keyboard, digital piano or acoustic piano at home because our tuition is applicable to all these instruments. You will also learn to read left, as well as right hand music. Progress at YOUR speed. Playing too fast, too soon HOLDS YOU BACK.

"FACE" is nice and easy to remember. The treble clef looks like a G and shows us where the G line is - one note above F. The others fill up each space from bottom to top. View video clip above.

LH line notes in bass clef.

To remember them think of 'Green Buses Drive Fast Always'. The bass or F clef used to have lines across which has been replaced by 2 dots, showing us exactly where F is on the stave.

The metronome is a device for helping you to play with good rhythm. Your piano or keyboard will probably have a digital metronome which is very accurate when you know how to use it. There is a way to practise with the metronome and we can show you how, without it putting you off.
