Frequently Asked Questions
What age is this class for?
Our in-person group lessons are for children aged 4–9, from complete beginners through to early Grade level. Each class is carefully matched by age and stage so your child isn’t rushed or held back.
Will my child actually make progress in a group?
Yes — and this is exactly what our system is built for.
Children learn together, but progress individually with guided tasks and regular personal feedback. Your child always works at the right level for them, not the group average.
What if my child is shy, anxious or lacks confidence?
That’s very common — and completely supported here.
Lessons are calm, predictable and pressure-free. No one is put on the spot. Confidence is built slowly through routine, praise and small wins.
How will I know my child is improving?
You’ll see progress in three clear ways:
New pieces your child can play
Growing confidence and independence
Visible level progression through our structured stages and roadmaps
Progress is also tracked so you’re never guessing.
Do we need a piano or keyboard at home?
It’s not required to start, but it is strongly recommended for steady progress. Many families begin without one and add it after a few weeks. I’ll guide you on affordable, beginner-friendly options when ready.
How much practice is expected at home?
Just short, regular practice — usually 10–15 minutes a few times a week. Practice is guided and simple, so parents don’t need to teach or chase.
Will my child be lost if they miss a class?
No. Because every child follows an individual pathway, they simply continue from where they left off the following week. No stress. No catching up pressure.
How many children are in each group?
A maximum of 5 children per class.
This keeps lessons calm, focused and personal while still giving children the social benefits of learning together.
Do parents need to stay during the lesson?
For younger children we ask that a parent or carer remains in the room if possible. This helps children feel emotionally secure and allows you to see progress first-hand. You don’t need to take part.
How do payments work?
Fees are simple, monthly and predictable.
No invoices to manage, no surprises, no awkward reminders.
Is my child safe?
Yes. Safeguarding, structure and emotional safety are non-negotiable here.
Lessons are calm, well-managed and teaching is always age-appropriate.
What’s the best way to start?
The best first step is a trial lesson. Your child can experience a real class, and you can see exactly how the system works before committing.
