Lessons for the whole family
How a family fits the week
A school that plans around the household, not the other way around.
Siblings who start together
Brothers and sisters can start in the same week. They can learn the same instrument or different ones, and share a lesson or take separate ones.
A parent beside a child
A parent who wants to learn can share the child's lesson for a few weeks, or take a lesson of their own right after.
Back-to-back times
We try to place a family's lessons side by side, so one trip to the school covers everyone.
Saturday family lessons
Saturday morning is set aside for pairs and families at the piano, with room for a parent, a grandparent and anyone who wants to listen.
Teens and adults in one room
Adults take the same lessons in the same rooms, and the choir on Thursday evenings has every age in it.
The summer weeks
Younger and older students are in the hall together for the summer weeks, and the whole family is invited to the showcase.
The sibling policy
How siblings are handled
If two of our children enroll, what changes?
Siblings are enrolled as one family: one registration conversation, one invoice and lesson times placed back to back when the teachers' days allow. How billing handles a second student is explained in writing at the placement visit.
Can brothers and sisters share a lesson?
Two students of a similar level can share a 45 or 60 minute lesson with one teacher. We suggest it for beginners who like to learn together, and it can change to separate lessons whenever either wants.
Can a parent learn alongside a child?
Yes. A parent can share a few lessons to learn the basics, or take a lesson of their own after the child's. The teacher plans both so practice at home feels like a duet, not a contest.
What if one child wants to stop?
Each student is enrolled on their own, so one can stop while another carries on. We ask for a month's notice, as for every student, and the family's other lessons stay as they are.
Bring the whole family to a placement visit
Come together, or one at a time. A teacher listens to everyone and suggests times that work for the household.
