Our Classes
One-One Lessons
Our unique Group Piano Class offers a supportive and engaging environment for children to develop confidence at the piano while learning alongside others. For our early years students, we use the Dogs and Birds method, encouraging a playful, imaginative introduction to music through movement, listening, and creative exploration.
For older children (ages 7–9), classes follow Alfred’s Piano Library Group Curriculum, supporting the development of reading skills, technique, and ensemble awareness within a collaborative group setting.
Group Piano
Our Group Violin Class uses the Vamoosh system, supporting students in developing strong foundations while encouraging ensemble playing from the very beginning. Classes are designed to balance individual guidance with collaborative learning, helping students listen, respond, and grow together.
Through shared repertoire, technique development, and group music-making, students build confidence, coordination, and musical awareness.
Our Signature Musicianship Class offers children a supportive space to explore their creativity and develop a deeper musical understanding. Each class is shaped by the unique dynamic of the group.
Through composition/ songwriting, conducting, dancing, body percussion, and group singing, students build confidence, musical awareness, and expressive freedom. This class is an ideal complement to instrumental or vocal study, supporting a well-rounded and nurturing musical education.

Our Individual Music Lessons are highly personalised, with each student’s learning carefully shaped around their interests, abilities, and goals. Whether a child is learning for enjoyment, confidence, or progression through exams, lessons are thoughtfully tailored to support steady and meaningful development.
Individual lessons typically take place in the student’s own home, allowing learning to happen in a familiar and comfortable environment. In some cases, lessons may also be offered at one of our studios. We support all major syllabuses, including ABRSM and Trinity, while placing equal value on musical understanding, technique, and expression.
