Consultation lessons

Q: What is a consultation lesson and is it free?
A: I offer consultation lessons as this is a great way for you to find out if i am the best teacher for you and for me to ascertain your skill level. All of my consultation lessons are free - at one consultation lesson per person.

Q: Do I need to bring my own instrument to a consultation lesson if i dont have my own?
A: No, I do have a selection of instruments for you to try during consultation lessons.

Practice and exams

Q: What exam boards do you use?
A: I use the ABRSM and Trinity Boards.

Q: Do I have to get my child to practise at home?
A: Gently encourage them to play because it is for fun.

Q: How long are the lessons?
A: Normally lessons are 30 minutes long however for more advanced students lessons can be up to an hour.

Q: Do I have to take exams?
A: Absolutely not, many people play as a hobby or to revive an old skill. However for younger players it is a great way to chart your progress. It will also look great on a CV and go toward UCAS points for university entry.

Waiting for your child

Q: If my child is having lessons with you am I able to sit in on the lessons?
A: There is a waiting room next to the teaching room, however if you feel more comfortable being in the room or your child would like you to sit in with them during lessons then I do not mind, you can sit in.

Q: Do you provide free wi-fi for parents who are waiting for their children?
A: I do. I realise that often some parents will want to do work or do correspondence while their child is having a lesson, so I provide free wi-fi for this purpose.

Q: Do I need to bring my own instrument to a consultation lesson - what if I don't have my own?
A: No, I have a selection of instruments for you to try during consultation lessons if you haven't got your own.
