Piano Lessons - Taster

About this course

This one-off introduction familiarises participants with the keyboard and basic piano technique. The session covers finger placement, simple chords, note recognition and the fundamentals of reading music, with opportunities to play a short piece. Teaching takes place in a relaxed group setting using headphones. The class is intended to give newcomers an indication of the teaching format and the foundations explored in longer beginner piano courses.

• Identify basic features of the piano keyboard
• Apply basic finger placement
• Play simple chords and a short piano piece

Is this course right for you?

The course is designed for complete beginners and is also suitable for people returning to piano after learning a little previously. As a group taster, it involves shared class-based participation rather than a full individual programme.

• One-off format provides an introductory experience before a longer beginners’ course
• Suitable for learners revisiting basic piano study

Before you go
