How does it work?
Here at London Pianoforte Academy, we want each new student to feel confident and inspired from their very first lesson. That’s why we suggest you begin with a trial piano lesson at your chosen location - Richmond, South London, online or even at home - before you commit to a block of piano lesson sessions.
Here’s what to expect:
A pay-as-you-go trial lesson for new students, then the chance to book convenient tuition blocks which will be invoiced at the start of each half term.
One-on-one private classes from the age of 5 upwards.
Personalised lessons catered to each student’s unique learning style, ability and goals.
Classes available during term time as well as the option to continue during the school holidays.
For our new students:
London Pianoforte Academy offers new students at all levels, whether you are a complete beginner, a transfer student looking for a higher standard of teaching or working towards your ABRSM exam. For your first trial lesson, you don’t need a piano. After the trial however, students require either an acoustic piano or a weighted digital keyboard at home so they can practice regularly. This helps each student develop the right foundation for progress between lessons, building consistency, techinque and improving your piano artistry.
