Best Piano Lessons in Biggleswade

Playing the piano requires basic literacy and numeracy skills. If a child is not yet reading and struggles with basic sums then I will likely spend much of the time teaching them these skills rather than how to play the piano. For this reason I recommend 5 years old as a mininum age. Nobody is too old to learn.

Something to practice on (ideally an acoustic or electronic piano) is essential for progress. You can learn with a keyboard but you will soon be keen to have a proper instrument. If you want to try a few lessons to see how you get on before committing to such a purchase this is perfectly fine by me.

I have tried many different approaches to payment/missed lessons etc. I hope that my current policy is fair on both myself and you. I usually take payment via cash or bank transfer per lesson, however I do require 24 hours notice for any cancellation. If this is not given then the missed lesson will need to be paid for. In case of illness I will try to rearrange the lesson for another day in the week.

This varies considerably depending on the age/personality of the learner. My broad recommendation is 10-20 minutes every day for beginners and 30-60 minutes per day for more advanced players. Short bursts daily are preferable to long intense weekly sessions. Young children may find it difficult to practice at first but if they can be encouraged to try then this will set them up well!

Yes, I enter my pupils for exams using the ABRSM exam board. If you do not wish to take exams this is perfectly fine but for children it is highly recommended.
