Holiday Group Keyboard Lessons
Why group lessons?
Why group lessons?
Most of our education throughout our lives is done as a group......
From a young age to adults, in our society most of the education and learning we do is in groups. Aside for specialized tutoring or private lessons, from sports to theater to school we learn in groups. Although private lessons for music is amazing and is now the standard of learning an instrument, many important foundations for musicians are left out. This is even more so for piano/keyboard players as they rarely have a chance to play with other musicians.
​
This creates a viscous cycle or anxiety, nerves, unrealistic expectations for progress and self doubt. Learning alone is great but can also set up students to face these issues, and many struggle to get past them. This is why group lessons for a solo instrument is now becoming more popular for young learners than private lessons.

Lessons for everyone
Each child will be challenged their own way.
We have very carefully selected curriculum and teaching methods to suit and cater to specific age groups and needs. For our little ones, making lessons exciting and fun alongside learning is something we value really highly in the learning process. Slow, repetitive but engaging lessons help the little ones really grasp musical ideas and build solid foundations for the future.
​
For older students we understand that independent learning is crucial as well as having that satisfaction playing your favorite songs. By this age the support of friend and family isn't what keeps you going, its your own passion and commitment. However with group lessons you have that extra support from your peers to really help you on your journey.
​
Having other people learning with you, really helps build confidence and helps you see everyone has weaknesses and strengths and that piano should be something that is approachable to all.
