Parent – Piano (In-Person)

Absolutely brilliant experience. My son has weekly piano lessons in person and his confidence has grown massively. The teacher is patient, structured, and genuinely cares.

I started online piano lessons as an adult beginner and honestly didn’t expect them to be this effective. Clear explanations, great technique work, and very motivating.
