Frequently Asked Questions

How much do lessons cost?

Pricing varies depending on lesson type (one-to-one, small group, or online), duration and age of pupil. See our pricing page for details or contact us for a personalised quote.

How long are lessons?

Lessons are typically 30 or 60 minutes depending on age and level. Beginners age 5-6 years often start with 30 minutes. Age 7+ years we have 60 minutes small group or 30 minute one-to-one lessons. We can customize to suit your needs.

Online or in-person?

We offer both! In-person lessons at our Meriden Community Centre location in Watford, or online via Zoom from the comfort of your home. Both options deliver the same quality teaching. Choose what works best for you.

What age can start?

We teach from age 5 upwards. Young children (5-6) benefit from our specially designed beginner programmes. Older children, teens, and adults all have tailored programmes. No prior experience needed — we start from the basics. No instrument needed either — we provide everything for your first lesson. We take experienced pupils too — email or call for details.
