Primary age, starting out
First lessons, first songs, and the habits that make the second year easier than the first.
Torbay · East Coast Bays
My studio is in Long Bay. Most Torbay families are here before a child would have finished walking home from school.
Straight up Beach Road and Glenvar Road into Long Bay. A few minutes outside peak, and it avoids the Browns Bay shops entirely.
Street parking sits about 20 metres from the studio door, so you can wait in the car for half an hour without hunting for a space.

What a lesson looks like
Mostly pop and contemporary music, with proper technique going in underneath it. Songs a student already likes are what keeps the practice happening between lessons.
Grades are there if you want them. ABRSM on piano, RSL Rockschool on guitar. Grades are optional.
Piano lessons and guitar lessons are the same price and the same length.
First lessons, first songs, and the habits that make the second year easier than the first.
Playing what they want to play, with the technique going in underneath it.
Picking the instrument up again after years away. Welcome at any age.
Complete beginners through to intermediate, on piano or guitar.
The practical part
Every instrument, every level. Invoiced monthly, not a term at a time, so there is no term to pay up front. No enrolment fee, no booking fee, nothing for materials.
There is no free trial. The first lesson is a real lesson at the normal price, with no obligation to continue.
Tell me the instrument and roughly when suits, and I will send back the times I have free.
