Piano · ABRSM · one to one
Piano, learned for life.
In over 25 years of teaching, piano has stayed at the core of Music Act. One teacher to one student, until the playing is fluent, expressive and truly their own. ABRSM grades mark that progress, for those who seek them.
Your own teacher
One to one from the first lesson, with a teacher who stays, so the pace and the relationship belong to the student.
The ABRSM standard
We prepare students for ABRSM excellence, from the first grade to performance diplomas recognised the world over.
Learn at your pace
The pace is theirs, faster or gentler as the child needs, and the grades are a choice, taken to diploma or simply for the joy of it.
The ABRSM path
The ABRSM path, from Grade 1 to diploma.
A universal language for musical ability, ABRSM grades are respected benchmarks for achievement around the world. They mark out clear, graded steps from beginner to advanced, and beyond.
Grades 1 to 4, the foundation
Weekly one-to-one lessons of 45 minutes. Each grade builds pieces, scales, sight-reading and aural together, and the early grades are kept affordable so a child can find their feet.
Music theory, from the first lesson
Theory is part of every lesson from the very first, woven through the playing itself. Reading, rhythm and the logic of music grow with the hands, so a student understands what they play as they learn it.
Grade 5, a turning point
Lessons lengthen to an hour as the music grows more demanding. Grade 5 is also the theory gateway: ABRSM asks for a Grade 5 in theory before the higher grades, and because it has been there all along, a student arrives ready.
Grades 6 to 8, real command
The higher grades ask for genuine technique and interpretation, with the same teacher who has known the student for years drawing out their playing.
Diplomas, beyond Grade 8
For those who want to go on, the ABRSM performance diplomas, ARSM and upward, a serious credential and a real achievement.
At Music Act
Move at your own pace
We do not lock a student to one grade a year. When a child is willing and able, we let them accelerate, and skip a grade where it makes sense. A keen student can move quickly, and no one is held to a timetable that does not fit them.
The grades are always a choice
Some students take every grade to diploma; others sit only a few, or none at all, and learn to play well for the pleasure of it. Both are welcome here, and we prepare a child either way.
ABRSM & DSA
ABRSM, a path to Direct School Admission.
ABRSM is an internationally recognised standard, and a strong record supports Direct School Admission to both secondary schools and junior colleges, with higher grades recognised by universities.
The Music Act difference
Fair fees, everything included.
We keep fees affordable on purpose, so excellent teaching stays within reach for many more families.
Music Act Student Benefits
As a student here, your family enjoys priority and preferred rates to make learning both excellent and affordable.
Questions
Questions parents ask about piano.
Do we need a piano at home?
It helps for practice, and we would recommend one before long, but a beginner can start without. We can point you to the right instrument, acoustic or digital, when you are ready.
What age can a child start?
Children usually begin classical piano in the early primary years, though the right age depends on the child. A trial month is the surest way to tell. We will confirm start ages with you.
Why is the trial a whole month, instead of a single class?
The trial is a paid trial month, four weekly one-to-one lessons at the usual fee, not a single free lesson. A month gives teacher and student time to get to know each other properly: the teacher learns how your child thinks, plays and paces, and your child has room to settle in and connect with the teacher and the music. One lesson rarely shows any of that. It is a considered start, not a taster.
Are ABRSM exams compulsory?
No. Many students take the grades as milestones; others learn purely for the love of it. The exam is always the student’s choice, and ours to prepare them for either way.
How long does it take to reach Grade 8?
It varies with age, practice, and how often a student wants to sit an exam. There is no fixed timetable, and we never push a grade forward before a student is ready.
Can my child move faster, or skip a grade?
Yes, when they are ready. We do not lock a student to one grade a year: a capable, well-prepared student can skip a grade, while another takes the time they need. We advise honestly on what suits your child.
Will my child keep the same teacher?
That is the intention. One-to-one teaching works because the teacher comes to know the student, so we keep that relationship steady from year to year.
