Q7 Where do I source a Keyboard or Piano to start learning on?
I can definitely assist you in finding the perfect keyboard or piano to start your musical journey. As part of the service I provide, I offer guidance on selecting the right instrument based on your needs, budget, and space. Whether you’re looking for a beginner-friendly keyboard or a full-sized acoustic piano, I can recommend local stores, trusted online retailers, and even provide advice on second-hand options. My goal is to ensure you find an instrument that you’ll enjoy playing and that will support your learning progress.
Q8 I am Left-Handed. Can you still teach me?
Absolutely, I can teach left-handed students! The piano is a versatile instrument that does not favor one hand over the other, and many left-handed pianists have become highly successful. My teaching methods are designed to accommodate all students, regardless of whether they are left or right-handed. I focus on developing both hands equally to build a balanced technique and ensure you can play comfortably and confidently. Whether you are left-handed or right-handed, I will tailor the lessons to suit your natural strengths
Q9 I’m quite a slow learner. Will this be a problem?
Not at all! Everyone learns at their own pace, and I believe that patience and personalized instruction are key to successful learning. My lessons are completely tailored to each individual student, ensuring that you feel comfortable and confident as you progress. I will work closely with you to identify your learning style and pace, providing the necessary support and encouragement. Whether you need more time to grasp certain concepts or prefer to take things slowly, I am here to help you enjoy the learning process and reach your musical goals in a stress-free environment.
