Piano, Electronic Keyboard and Recorder

No, but I can recommend some teachers.

Depends on how much you practice. With regular practice, you’ll be able to play simple tunes within weeks. As you progress, the pieces become challenging. There is always something new to learn. I am still learning as well. Learning is a lifelong process.

YES.

Whichever instrument you can afford. You can always upgrade later. Your instrument should have minimum 61 keys, and it should be touch sensitive.

I would suggest you buy it offline, after you get a chance to play on your instrument. Your local music store will also give you good deals on accessories like pedals, adapters, covers etc.

Your local music store (e.g. Furtado’s, Theme Music or Musik Shack), or you can get it online.

Yes, mostly Zoom because of its features. Some students have taken lessons on Google Duo or Google Meet as well.

Minimum age to start learning piano- 5 yrs (parents must accompany the child). There’s no upper limit on the age to start learning. I’ve had students who are senior citizens and they’re the most enthusiastic of the whole lot!

I prefer to work with the students in a solo setting. Each student has his/her own requirements and pace of learning. But occasionally I take group classes to brush up theory concepts, or to have a fun/interactive session or a performance class.

Weekly lessons of 45 mins each.

You’ll need to have a basic understanding of reading sheet music, music theory, technique before you go to the exam syllabus. The teacher will suggest you to appear for an exam once you’re ready. Having said that, appearing for an exam is not for everyone and is optional.

Yes. All students perform at our annual recital in March.

Yes. But if that means you’ll not find time to practice regularly, it won’t be very enjoyable for the student and teacher.

Yes. The music lessons are a mix of learning repertoire, technique, music theory, ear training activities and improvisation. In addition to your regular repertoire, your teacher will help you to learn songs that you want to play.

Please contact me for details about fees.

You will need to give a 48 hour notice for cancellation/rescheduling. Otherwise the lesson is counted.
