FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
🎓 Can I work towards a graded exam?
Yes, absolutely. All of our teachers are happy to help you prepare for graded exams, including both ABRSM (Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music) and Trinity College London exams.
🏠 Can I have lessons at home?
Yes, all of our teachers offer home visits. We primarily serve Muswell Hill, East and North Finchley, Crouch End, Highgate, and other nearby North London areas. Teachers may be able to travel further depending on availability — just get in touch to ask!
🎹 Do I need a piano to start lessons?
While a piano is ideal, a touch-sensitive keyboard with weighted keys is perfectly fine for beginners. As you progress, upgrading to a real piano will help you develop proper technique and touch.
⏱️ How long should my lesson be?
We usually recommend:
-
30 or 45 minutes for beginners and younger students
-
60 minutes for older or more advanced students
We’re happy to discuss the best option based on your goals and experience.
👩🦱 I’m an adult beginner — can I still learn?
Absolutely! It’s never too late to learn the piano. Many of our teachers specialise in teaching adult beginners, and lessons are tailored to suit your pace and interests.
🗓️ When are lessons available?
Our teachers are available throughout the week, including evenings and weekends. We’ll work with you to find a time that fits your schedule.
