We teach students of all ages, from young children (typically from age 5+) through to adults and seniors. Lessons are tailored to suit each individual's age, ability, and learning style.

Yes – having access to an instrument at home is essential for regular practice. Many beginners start on a keyboard, which is perfectly acceptable in the early stages; however, it is important to understand the limitations.

Most keyboards do not have fully weighted keys, meaning they do not build the finger strength, control, and dynamic range required for piano playing. They also often lack a proper sustain pedal, which is essential for developing correct pedalling technique and musical expression.

An acoustic piano offers the most authentic playing experience, allowing greater control over tone, touch, and dynamics. A high-quality digital or electric piano with fully weighted keys and a sustain pedal can also be an excellent alternative, particularly where space or volume is a consideration.

If you are considering upgrading from a keyboard or purchasing your first piano, I recommend seeking professional advice. Stuart Jones Pianos has a wide range of acoustic and digital pianos available in their Newtown showroom and can offer expert guidance on choosing an instrument that suits your needs.

Yes, we prepare students for ABRSM, Trinity, and other recognized music examinations at all grades. However, exams are optional - many students learn purely for enjoyment and personal enrichment.
