How billing, make-ups and notice work is on the tuition page.

A week

What a week of lessons looks like

It is the same for a five-year-old and a ten-year-old, in different sizes.

  1. 01

    Step 1: A private lesson

    Thirty or forty-five minutes with your teacher. You play what you know, bring one new idea and leave with a plan for the week.

  2. 02

    Step 2: A group class

    The students play together, up to 8 at a time, and learn by watching and joining in. Parents watch from the side.

  3. 03

    Step 3: Listening and playing at home

    A little each day, with a parent beside the child. Your teacher writes down what to listen for and what to play.
