“What has keys but can’t listen to the beauty it unlocks?
A piano.”
Piano & Keyboard Lessons in Woking.
In our piano and keyboard lessons, you can expect to learn the basics of playing the instrument, including hand positioning, posture, and finger technique.
Additionally, the teacher will guide you through the process of understanding music theory, which is crucial to developing your skills as a pianist or keyboardist.
Understanding different musical styles and how different keyboard instruments suit different styles of music is also an essential component of piano or keyboard lessons.
Whether you're interested in classical music, jazz, rock, or pop, your instructor will help you identify the nuances of each style and how to adapt your playing accordingly.
With this knowledge, you will be able to explore various keyboard instruments, learning how to incorporate them into your playing for a well-rounded musical experience, and have the tools necessary to continue improving your playing outside of the lessons at our Weekly Jam Nights!
