About the course

This group course is specially designed for adults who want to enjoy learning piano in a relaxed, friendly environment — no pressure, no exams, just music you can enjoy. Whether you’re starting from scratch or picking things back up after a long break, this course will ease you in gently and help you build confidence from the very first note. This course is designed as part of a rolling programme — if you enjoy it, you can carry on with more terms!

Who is this course for?

• Adults who have never played before and want a clear, friendly introduction

• Adults who learned piano as a child or teenager, but had to stop due to work, studies, or life

• Anyone who’s curious about how music works and would like to play their favourite songs

• People who enjoy learning with others and want a social, encouraging atmosphere

What you’ll learn?

Guided by a professional piano teacher, you will learn to play a wide variety of music.

In this first 7-week term, you’ll learn:

• How to read music, starting from the very basics

• How to play simple melodies with both hands

• Rhythms and note values — what the dots on the page really mean

• Introduction to music theory in plain, everyday language

• Healthy posture and hand position at the piano

• Practice tips you can use at home

🎯 By the end of the course, you’ll be able to read and play beginner-level music confidently — and be well set up to continue learning in the next term.
