We are committed to providing our students with high-quality, private musical education to reach their full potential and inspire them to make musical journey exceptional.

In order to achieve this, we work from a well-balanced curriculum, developed through the years of our professional experience.

At each level of our musical education process, we are providing custom tailored curriculums to meet each individual student’s musical needs.

In the Piano Studio, we are able to offer one to one private lessons, preparation for performances, auditions, school and ABRSM exams through the ABRSM piano graded syllabus, music theory and sight reading based on ABRSM system of education.

During each piano lesson, you will be given a new practical homework assignment which will be explained in detail.

Our beginners are expected to have knowledge of the alphabet, ability to count, concentrate for half an hour at least and our lessons are fun and energetic with a high emphasis placed on encouraging each individual`s natural musicality and creativity.
