We offer a well-structured piano journey designed to set students up for long-term success.
Stage 1: BEGINNERS - Group Piano Classes
All beginners start with our fun and engaging Beginners Group Piano. After completing the program, they switch to private 1:1 lessons.
Stage 2: ABRSM GRADE 1 to 8 - Private 1:1 Lessons
Private lessons are available for students aged 5+, from ABRSM Grade 1 to 8. Lessons are tailored to each student and include technique, music reading, improvisation, composition, scales, rhythm, theory and performance skills - ensuring a well-rounded musical education.
Unlike many music tuition providers, we don’t just teach exam pieces. We prioritise full musicianship and strong foundations - no shortcuts and no “fast-tracking” at the expense of core skills. Students learn a broad, well-balanced repertoire.
We proudly maintain a 100% ABRSM pass rate, with many students achieving Merits and Distinctions. Exams are available for those who wish to take them, but are always optional.

Many transfer students come to us having learned only the three exam pieces per grade and little else - what we call the “exam factory” approach sometimes seen in music studios.
While exams can be useful milestones and a way to assess progress, they should never be the entire goal of learning music.
Limiting teaching to just three pieces can restrict broader musicianship skills such as fluent sight-reading, improvisation, composition, and so much more. A common sign of this shortcut approach is when letters or finger numbers are written above every note, creating dependency instead of true music reading. As a result, some students who have completed Grade 1 or 2 may still struggle to read music independently, and often only perform the same exam pieces at recitals because they’re not confident reading anything new.
At our studio, students learn to read music fluently and we do not fast-track pupils through grades at the expense of strong, secure technique or understanding. All of our students also learn music theory as part of their development.
That said, we happily support students who wish to take exams, (Grades 1 to 8), and are proud to maintain a 100% pass rate, with the majority achieving Merits and Distinctions.
"True musical literacy is our priority. I've seen far too many students fast-tracked through exams who sadly cannot read music fluently. Our goal is to ensure every student develops confident reading skills alongside strong technique and real musical understanding." - Emi

We follow the ABRSM syllabus for Grades 1–8, covering pieces, scales, sight‑reading, and aural skills. Exams are optional, with two formats:
Scores out of 150: 100 to pass, 120 for Merit, 130 for Distinction.
Higher grades require more commitment. From Grade 2+, we recommend 60‑minute weekly lessons. To progress to Grades 6–8, passing Grade 5 Music Theory is mandatory.
* Even for Performance Grades, we still teach scales, sight‑reading, and aural skills for a well rounded music education.
Our students genuinely love their lessons. The energy, the laughter, the focus, collaborative play and teamwork. It’s where confidence grows and friendships form, and something they look forward to each week.
We do not expect perfection. We celebrate effort, curiosity, and the courage to try again.
Our students inspire us every day, and we’re truly grateful for the wonderful families who trust us with their children’s musical journey. If you’d like a glimpse into their experiences, you can read some of their honest reviews on our Testimonials page.
"Emi has been a wonderful piano teacher for my daughter. She is patient, encouraging, and really knows how to make lessons enjoyable while still helping her progress. My daughter looks forward to her lessons every week and has grown in both confidence and skill. Emi explains things clearly and adapts her teaching to suit her student’s pace. I would highly recommend her to any parent looking for a supportive and skilled piano teacher."
"Emi is patient, professional, and inspiring teacher. My son has always been confident, but the structure of her classes helped him become self-motivated and eager to learn. She also offers great performance opportunities like recitals and visits to elderly homes. Highly recommended!"
"My daughters look forward to every lesson and practices willingly, which is a direct testament to Emi's engaging approach. Emi's recitals also make it a positive and confidence-building experience for them."
