About the Piano
The piano, a majestic and versatile keyboard instrument, produces a wide range of expressive tones, making it an indispensable cornerstone in classical and contemporary music.
Piano is an instrument accessible to everyone, starting as young as 4 years old.
Our Teachers
All of our teachers hold university degrees specifically in their instrument. We selected them for their passion for music and care for teaching. They are always encouraging and positive, catering to each student’s interests, desires, and goals. We teach with an “American Approach” to music education with your hands on the instrument from the first day (read our blogpost about the American Approach).

We offer 30-minute, 45-minute or 1-hour weekly lessons. Online piano lessons take place on the day and time you choose.

Introduction Call
Before you sign up, our admissions team is available to speak about your personal musical goals and desires and to answer any questions you may have.
ABRSM Prep
The Conservatory prepares about 25% of our student body for optional ABRSM exams. These exams are not mandatory.
ABRSM exams are designed to motivate students of all levels and ages, giving them realistic goals and tangible rewards for their achievements. Since 1889, ABRSM has provided music teachers and their students with exams and assessments that nurture and evaluate an individual’s performance and progress.

Useful Resources
-
Buying a Piano
If you decide to buy an acoustic piano, we recommend choosing a Yamaha B1 or B2 with a silence system for practical reasons. These pianos are excellent, and they resell quickly as they are always in high demand. Usually, a piano bench comes free if you buy a brand-new piano. The first piano tuning is generally free if you purchase a new or second-hand piano.
-
Renting a Piano
Prices vary from shop to shop. Ask about the delivery and pick-up fees before renting a piano to find the best overall deal. The first tuning of the piano is usually free. The rental usually includes the piano bench.
-
Buying a Digital Piano
A digital piano is a good alternative to an acoustic piano only if:
-The keys are weighted.
-The digital piano possesses 88 keys.
-A sustaining pedal is provided.
*Without weighted keys, students will not develop the muscles needed in their fingers nor proper piano technique.
*You will need to purchase an adjustable piano bench along with the electric piano and in some cases, a piano stand.

Korg B2-BK (About 400€ keyboard alone)
