What Lesson Length is Right for Me?
Our private lessons are offered in the following durations:
Our private lessons are offered in the following durations:
- 30 minute lesson - For children new to piano. We find this lesson length the most appropriate for younger ages and their focus.
- 45 minute lesson - For progressing children aged 11+. This lesson length accommodates for the longer pieces encountered at intermediate level, and allows enough time for practical exam preparation (e.g. AMEB exams).
- 60 minute lesson - For adult learners and advanced students. An hour lesson allows for a comprehensive exploration of techniques, theory, and performance.
What can I expect from my first lesson?
- Our director, Anna, will be in touch with you to set-up your first lesson and you'll receive a text message reminder the day-before. If you require assistance for purchasing or renting an instrument, please ask and she can provide a list of trusted contacts.
- At the first lesson, your friendly tutor will ask about your previous experience and what has inspired you to play. After the tutor has gauged what level and style of music you'd like to play, they will open a method book and trial a few different pieces with you. If the book is a good fit for you, you are welcome to purchase it after the lesson (depending our available stock). Method books are range in cost$20-35 and will last for approximately a year (depending on how fast your progress, you could be finished within 6 months!). We encourage all students to also complete a weekly 2 pages homework from a theory book ($30-40) to ensure you develop a thorough understanding of the music you are playing
- Our lessons environment is very relaxed and enjoyable. We encourage weekly practice, but we understand that life can get very busy too (especially if you are a working professional!).
- Parents are always welcome to sit-in each lesson with their child (especially helpful for understanding the weekly at-home activities), although most prefer to sit in the waiting room outside. Please ask the tutor if you'd like colouring activities for younger siblings.
- If you'd like to continue with classes, please send our Director an email and this will be arranged. You are welcome to pay by term invoice (if you start mid-term, you only pay for the remaining classes of the term), or fortnightly direct debits (scheduled through Ezidebit).
