Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, all new students can start with a complimentary 30-minute trial lesson to explore the teaching style and determine if it’s the right fit.

We offer flexibility with lesson locations. You can choose to take lessons at the teacher’s studio in Zurich or in the comfort of your own home (subject to availability and location). For home lessons, a small additional travel fee may apply. Please contact us to discuss your preferences and arrangements.

Lessons are offered in English, which is also a great opportunity to practice the language for non-native speakers.

Yes, we offer online piano lessons for students who prefer to learn from the comfort of their own home. Our instructors have extensive experience helping university students excel in their musical studies through virtual sessions, providing tailored guidance and resources. However, for younger children, our music instructor recommends in-person classes to ensure a more engaging and hands-on learning experience.

We recommend starting piano lessons as early as 4 to 6 years old. For young children, we incorporate a Montessori-inspired piano pedagogy, which emphasizes hands-on exploration, independence, and a child-centered approach to learning. This method integrates interactive tools, creative improvisation, and an individualized pace to make the piano a joyful and natural part of a child’s development. By fostering intrinsic motivation and curiosity, children build a strong musical foundation in a supportive and engaging environment.

Of course, it’s never too late to begin! We welcome students of all ages and tailor our lessons to suit their unique goals. We have many adults who start their lifelong dream of playing the piano with us!

Your first lesson is a free 30-minute trial session, perfect for both kids and adults! During this session, we introduce you to the piano, explore basic concepts, and kickstart your learning journey. For kids, the lesson is designed to be engaging and fun, with interactive activities that nurture curiosity and excitement. For adults, we focus on understanding your musical goals and tailoring the session to suit your individual needs. This trial lesson sets the stage for a personalised and enjoyable piano learning experience.

We recommend taking two lessons per week for optimal progress, as this frequency allows for consistent practice and reinforcement of skills. However, we understand that every student’s schedule is different, so some choose to take one lesson per week and progress at a more relaxed pace. Our lessons are available in convenient packages of 5 or 10 sessions, giving you the flexibility to choose what works best for you. During your trial lesson, we can discuss the best frequency to match your goals and availability.

No, you don’t need a piano at home to begin lessons. Many students prefer to try out lessons first to determine if piano playing is a long-term commitment before investing in an instrument. For the first month or two, especially if you attend lessons twice a week, the material and practice can remain fresh in your mind with consistent instruction. Additionally, students are provided with piano theory practice sheets to work on at home, which reinforces key concepts and helps you make the most of your hands-on learning during class. However, this approach is only sustainable for up to two months, after which  access to a piano at home becomes essential for continued progress and growth.

Our lesson packages are available in sets of 5 or 10 sessions, providing both flexibility and structure for your learning journey. When you purchase a package, you prepay for your lessons and reserve your spot on the schedule for the upcoming weeks. You can choose a frequency that suits you, whether it’s once or twice a week.

Payments are required upfront at the beginning of each five-lesson or ten-lesson package. You can pay through QR code invoices or cash, making the payment process seamless and convenient.

You will need a computer or tablet with a camera, a stable internet connection, and a keyboard or piano.
